    You mean to hide your bind version? Here's part of such tutorial:

    
Hiding BIND version
Login to your server through SSH and su to root. 

1) pico -w /etc/named.conf

2) add this line:
version "surely you must be joking";
after:
query-source address * port 53;

3) Save the changes
Ctrl+x then y

4) Restart your BIND service.
service named restart or /etc/init.d/named restart

5) Check your bind version
dig ns1.yourserver.com
    Code (markup):
    For complete tutorial (and this is for cPanel servers, but it should work on other servers which use bind also) you can check this link: http://www.webhostgear.com/86.html
    NOTE: You'll probably want to backup /etc/named.conf first, before editing it. In the case you mess something up, you'll have a working backup :)
