It restarts automatically to prevent the service from going down and preventing the built in DNS from being a failure for your websites.

Depending on your OS you can try:
chkconfig bind off
or
chkconfig named off
or
NOT RECOMMENDED
chkconfig bind --del
or
chkconfig named --del

You can also:
update.rc.d -f bind remove
or
update.rc.d -f named remove
