I don't think it needs to be that complicated. You can copy the _bind view
from the default configuraton and adjust it as you want, as in the example
below. I changed the allow-query acl, and also gave it a different name
than _bind to avoid colliding with the built-in view. The _builtin
hostname runes create the special zones for you without you having to make
one per server.

The default server-id is none, so there's no need to change that if you
find your hostnames embarrassing.

view bind chaos {
       allow-query { localhost; localnets; };
       notify no;
       recursion no;
       allow-new-zones no;
       rate-limit {
               slip 0;
               responses-per-second 3;
               min-table-size 10;
       };
       zone  authors.bind ch { type master; database "_builtin authors";  };
       zone hostname.bind ch { type master; database "_builtin hostname"; };
       zone  version.bind ch { type master; database "_builtin version";  };
       zone     id.server ch { type master; database "_builtin id";       };
};
