Joan,

Possible answers:
1. Put you nameserver in debug mode and monitor the debug output. man named and/or
review http://www.dns.net/dnsrd/

2. BIND 4.9.X, use "options query-log" in your
config file. BIND 8.X, use "logging { category queries { default_syslog; }; };" in your config file. Again, consult http://www.dns.net/dnsrd/ for more details.

Hope this helps,

On your nameserver do
sig_named debug 1

this will put it into debug/monitor mode and you will see a lot of information

do a
sig_named debug 0
to turn it off

Not sure what you mean by "monitorize", but I think you mean log who is accessing DNS?

Bind 8 and 9 support a log utility you can build into named.conf. The default mechanism is to log statistics periodically in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log, as well as zone transfers whether valid or not, and a few other security features.
If you use the debug feature, beware of the amount of data that will be stuffed into a text file on the server. A busy server can easily write 100MB a minute or so depending on the debug level.....
