I have a web server which is running CentOS 5. The website uses some Facebook API elements. I usually get this error message multiple times a day in /var/log/messages:

What does this mean and what can I do about it?
 
I'm indeed running bind9 on my server. But now I've disabled IPv6, now just waiting if the error message occurs again. Thanks for your help :)
