Hmm, latest version of Bind is working fine for me 9.8.0-P2, though I 
had to rejig the test suite patch because they added ipv6 interface tests.

Non-authoritative answer:
www.nhs.uk      canonical name = www.prod.nhs.uk.akadns.net.

Double check the format and perms of your root.hints file. That address 
is A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET and is rather odd that it is looking at the AAAA 
host for an A record (especially if no IPv6 GW is setup).

Latest hints file is dated June 8th, 2011, and added only the AAAA 
record for D, and changed the TTL for L's AAAA record from 7D to 41.6_D 
(like the rest). Book is current for all A records, but AAAA records 
should probably be added at some point (because I like that format much 
better than the one at IANA/internic). Probably also need to add ::1 to 
/etc/hosts in LFS at some point soon enough.
