dns.monitor: The zone master server must be specified

I cannot find an example of how to do this.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated,

You need to tell dns.monitor which one of the servers is the master server for the zones you are monitoring. They all need to be authoritative, but typically one is the master and the rest are slaves. for example
if for zones foo.com and bar.com you had three servers, server1.foo.com server2.foo.com and server3.bar.com, and server1 is the master, you would want the monitor option on mon.cfg to contain:

dns.monitor -zone foo.com -zone bar.com -master server1.foo.com

and then of course mon will append all the servers in the group, which can include server1.foo.com, but does not need to. so the actual command line might be:

dns.monitor -zone foo.com -zone bar.come -master server1.foo.com server1.foo.com server2.foo.com server3.bar.com
