I take it then that you too are using a PDNS resolver on (a suitably
recent) Ubuntu? In that case the problem is rather expected, and
matches exactly the same issue reported here a week or two back.
Search the list archives. You may find that the original poster
of that older message has already opened an Ubuntu ticket for this
issue.
In the mean-time, unbound works pretty well, and of course you can
insteall a more stable PDNS from the upstream source.
I expect we'll now be seeing repeated reports of this particular
issue from time to time. I might not always be inspired to come
forward with the standard answer, so if anyone else wants to help
out the next user with this problem, go for it.
