It looks like you specified localhost for the key.  If you specify 127.0.0.1
then you won't get the second message. The first message is fine. It
looks like you build BIND with IPv6 support but you don't have it
running on this machine.

That's not necessary. The problem is with lack of IPv6 stack on the
machine.
