I found your named.conf files on the bind9 mailing lists, why are you
using 'views' ?

Also to raise the log level, you need to add '-d3' to the end of the
database line in /var/lib/samba/bind-dns/named.conf, for example:

database "dlopen
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/samba/bind9/dlz_bind9_18.so" -d3;

NOTE: You can use higher numbers than '3' which will give you more
output.
