The "address family not supported" error message should be a Big Clue
to the source of the problem. You're trying to use network protocols
that are not supported by the kernel. I'll guess you have an IPv6
address for the loopback interface mentioned somewhere -- /etc/hosts?
-- but your kernel doesn't have IPv6 support switched on. In short,
nsupdate tried to set up an IPv6 socket for the loopback interface to
speak to named but the OS doesn't know how to handle IPv6 packets.
