I don't quite understand what Jason is referring to either, but I think he's
referring to your systems loopback device. 

Just to add to this thread - there are only a few things that I can think of
that would cause bind/named NOT to be able to "bind" to the loopback device.

1) Your system does not have a loopback device defined. i.e.

[root at excelsior postfix]# ip -s link show lo
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    RX: bytes  packets  errors  dropped overrun mcast   
    88978146   135295   0       0       0       0      
    TX: bytes  packets  errors  dropped carrier collsns 
    88978146   135295   0       0       0       0      

[root at excelsior postfix]# ip -s addr show lo

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo

2) There is another process already running that is bound to 127.0.0.1 port
953

3) I don't even know if this is possible, but your system's kernel was not
compiled with  support for the loopback device.

Maybe someone else on the list might have some other ideas.
