What timezone are you in? My guess would be that you're running PowerDNS
chroot'ed, and the log messages you're seeing with the -3hr time offset
are from the process running chroot'ed.

If you're running chroot'ed, copy your system's /etc/timezone into the
chroot base directory. That should solve the problem for you.
