This is common when NS glue records for a domain (e.g. those provided by
*.gtld-servers.net for isipp.com) come with a mix of A and AAAA records, and
the host where named is running has an IPv6 interface configured but has no
IPv6 connectivity to the Internet at large. The simple problem is that named
does not know that AAAA records are not usable.

Not a serious problem, although it adds a little sludge to the process of doing
some resolutions, somewhat randomly. So if you have an IPv6 interface that
can't actually be used to reach public IPv6 space, you should add '-4' to the
named command line arguments to avoid ever trying to query an IPv6 address. In
the reverse case (which seems unlikely...) you can give it '-6' to only ever
use IPv6. 

The 2 errors from January are far-end problems lost likely caused by transient
local issues on the cited nameservers.
