Well sorry for the lack of information.

Im running my dns server on a Fedora Core 3 box and using BIND version 
9.2.5-3.

Ok let me clarify what I ment by sniffing i my log.

I have two computers. One of them is acting as a dns server with ipv6 
address "fe80::201:2ff:fe77:9157". Besides running BIND im also 
monitoring all errors who goes to /var/log/messages using "tail -f 
/var/log/messages".

My other computer who is acting as a client and has ipv6 address 
"fe80::201:2ff:fe77:91d2" are trying to connect to the dns server using 
"dig @fe80::201:2ff:fe77:9157 some.host.at.my.domain.com"

However for some reason my client is returning with the error message 
"connection timed out".

My server on the other hand appends the following lines to 
/var/log/messages:

named[2502]: socket.c:1115: unexpected error:
named[2502]: internal_send: fe80::201:2ff:fe77:91d2#32829: Invalid argument
named[2502]: client fe80::201:2ff:fe77:91d2#32829: error sending 
response: invalid file
named[2502]: socket.c:1115: unexpected error:
named[2502]: internal_send: fe80::201:2ff:fe77:91d2#32829: Invalid argument
named[2502]: client fe80::201:2ff:fe77:91d2#32829: error sending 
response: invalid file

I've tried to connect to my server from 3 other machines on same net 
with similar errors on both client and server, so I'm wondering what is 
wrong?

All my clients is also running Fedora Core 3 with ipv6 support.
