can anyone point me to a good document, how i can secure bind? i searched
the web, but couldn't find anything useful.

This is kind of a vague question depending on what you mean by securing
BIND. The first thing you should do is chroot() it though (IMHO). I wrote
some documents a while back that explain how to do this for version 8.x:

Adam Shostack has instructions for BIND 4.x on solaris too:
