Weird errors

I recently moved my server to a new co-location facility and got a new set of IP addresses. I have edited the zones and such to make sure that all of the new IP addresses are indicated.  I've tried running my existing installation of BIND-9.2.1 and I get errors such as this in my /var/log/messages:

Jan  1 20:49:27 gravity named[284]: starting BIND 9.2.1
Jan  1 20:49:27 gravity named[284]: could not listen on UDP socket: address in use

Jan  1 20:49:27 gravity named[284]: could not listen on UDP socket: address in use
Jan  1 20:49:27 gravity named[284]: creating IPv4 interface xl0 failed; interface ignored

this goes on and on and on....  I then tried to recompile and got the same errors.... I then tried BIND-8.3.4 and got these errors:

This also goes on and on.  I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.  Whenever I issue a query to the DNS server, it answers them normally, however now that I have the new IP addresses and have registered them with NSI, I cannot resolve any domains I host using my ISP's nameservers.  Here are the first few lines of my named.conf

options {
        directory "/etc/namedb";
        pid-file "/var/run/named.pid";
        statistics-file "/var/run/named.stats";
};

zone "164.71.64.in-addr.arpa" in {
        type master;
        file "named.rev";
        allow-transfer {none;};
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
        type master;
        file "named.local";
        allow-transfer {none;};
};

zone "." in {
        type hint;
        file "named.hints";
};

zone "demihost.com" in {
        type master;
        file "zones/demihost.com.hosts";
        allow-transfer {none;};
};


Please contact me if you have any ideas as to why BIND is not working.  Thank you very much.
