After reading that the first thing I though of was the sysctl parameter security.jail.allow_raw_sockets

So I installed pdns in a jail today and am able to launch without above setting at the host,
using for pdns only:

	master=yes
	launch=bind
	local-address=85.255.x.x
	local-ipv6=2a00:x:x::x

...and all working fine without such error as reported.

After reading Bert's reply I asume you specificly enabled recursion ...?
Anyway, I've added:

	allow-recursion=1.0.0.0/8
	recursor=2600::1 # sprint

...and again no such error.

In case you're not using GENERIC, then was INET6 removed in your custom kernel?
I used 10.1-RELEASE-p8, VERY stripped down.

Further at the host level I'm having in /etc/rc.conf:

	ipv6_network_interfaces="igb0 em0 vlan53 etc3"
	# or (since above probably is pre 10):
	ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES"

...otherwise you wont get the fe80::etc at boot, and IPv6 will be impossible.

With above sysctl rule you can allow ping6 to jails.
Are you able to ping 2600::2 from inside the jail ...?
