I recommend downloading BIND 9.8.1 from https://www.isc.org/software/bind
or https://www.isc.org/software/bind/981 and consulting the RPZ
configuration instructions in chapter 6 of the
"Administrator Reference Manual."
Version 9.8.1 has changes and improvements in both the code and ARM
documentation.

After the tarball has been downloaded and unpacked, chapter 6 is
in bind-9.8.1/doc/arm/Bv9ARM.pdf and bind-9.8.1/doc/arm/Bv9ARM.ch06.html
Search for the string "response-policy" on page 55 and starting in 
section 6.2.16.20 on page 83.


To use RPZ, one needs policy zone data.  That can be generated
locally, but it is often good to also (or instead) use data from
other organizations.  Barry Greene's mentioned these RPZ data
providers in his recent webinar:

 - Spamhaus' DBL as RPZ
     http://www.spamhaus.org/news.lasso?article=669
 - ActiveTrust Resolver RPZ
     http://internetidentity.com
 - DNS RPZ & SURBL
    http://www.surbl.org
  

Soon the ISC Knoweledge Base will contain articles about RPZ.
