	BIND 9 includes all the relevent RFC's (doc/rfc).  There are
	quite a few of them.  Most of the log messages assume that
	you have a basic understanding of the DNS.

	If you don't want to read though the RFC's 'DNS and BIND',
	reportedly, has a good introductory chapter.  I've never
	read it because by the time it came out I was well past
	needing it.  I'd gone from being a user to a developer.
