	rndc is try to connect to a different port/address to that
	specified in named.conf or named is not running.

	Note a common fault is to assume that localhost is only 127.0.0.1.
	On many platforms it is both 127.0.0.1 and ::1.  ISC recommend
	using literal IP addresses instead of localhost in rndc.conf.

	That way you are not dependent on the server you are controling
	to be working.
