There's something wrong at line 41 of the file db.its, probably an
incorrectly formatted A record. Something which should be an IP
address isn't.

Your name server can't bind to port 53 of interface 10.0.0.5. This was
repeated for another three network interfaces. If the bind system call
fails EADDRINUSE (Address already in use) it means that something has
already bound to the address and port number in question. So if your
name server can't bind to port 53 on all network interfaces, something
else must have done this already. That something is probably another
name server: what else would do such a thing?
