rndc signing -list not working?

The Internet roots publish both A (IPv4) and (IPv6) address records. The log noise you show is what happens when you enable IPv6 but don't have the necessary routing in place to the IPv6 Internet, either natively or through some sort of tunnel mechanism. You could certainly turn IPv6 *off*
