What version of Named are you running? Did you install it from 
source or a precompiled rpm?

From: Chris [mailto:crouth () davlin net] 
It is the precompiled rpm that came with redhat 9

I don't have any sources that old on hand. I checked my 9.2.3 sources
and this is what is kicking around line 1100:

                isc_sockaddr_format(&dev->address, addrbuf,
sizeof(addrbuf));
                isc__strerror(send_errno, strbuf, sizeof(strbuf));
                UNEXPECTED_ERROR(__FILE__, __LINE__, "internal_send: %s:
%s",
                                 addrbuf, strbuf);
                dev->result = isc__errno2result(send_errno);
                return (DOIO_HARD);
        }

This is in the doio_send function. Did you change firewall settings?
Host (/etc/hosts) settings? Is localhost defined correctly? Did you
change any networking functions? If the error is occurring around line
1100 and the sources haven't changes too much between your version of
bind and this current I'd assume that the error is occurring at:

isc_sockaddr_format(&dev->address, addrbuf, sizeof(addrbuf));

and the error is occurring in the first param. Try updating BIND
(http://www.isc.org/) or running up2date. But I'd make sure all your
networking is good first, just in case I'm right. Also make sure your
bind/named configs are all in order.
