Yes, it was an IPV6 address in my hosts file. Had I specified the loopback IP instead of 'localhost' it would have worked.

Luke Cowell disturbed my sleep to write:
*Why* do I need to have IPV6 enable ? Is it some configuration option
of named that I overlooked ?

Hm...it could be that named is only listening on IPv6 localhost (::1) rather than IPv4 (127.0.0.1) by default, but that seems strange to me. Try "grep localhost /etc/hosts" and see if you've got entries for both. Are you running the default version of BIND, or a version from ports?
