I'll guess that you have a lot of virtual interfaces on this machine.
named binds to every local address it finds at startup causing the 
problem you're seeing.  In bind 8 there is a new option listen-on
where you can specify the IP address that named should listen on
for DNS requests.  I believe that 4.9.6 has a patch available to
accomplish the same thing.  I'd suggest moving to 8.1 though if
you haven't already.
