Just as a followup - I moved all this to a jail with IPv6 IPs and am not 
seeing the problem anymore.  Just thought I'd add that for the archives 
for anyone else running FreeBSD + PowerDNS in a jail.

Also the error I found was coming from the resolver, so I'm still a bit 
puzzled.  Anyhow, for the archives, it's here:

pdns/resolver.cc:    unixDie("Creating local resolver socket for 
"+ourLocal.toString());
