The best way to do it, in my opinion, is with a proper snmpd on the bind host and the snmp "extend" paramter in the snmpd.conf file. Any shell script, perl script, python or whatever that you can run and will output an integer can be graphed and monitored. There's lots of good ways to visualize BIND9 load doing this. As an example here's an snmp extend script that monitors apache2:
