Just disabling bind to listen on IPv6 addresses does not prevents it from querying for IPv6 addresses to remote hosts. To ensure that IPv6 is completely disabled use:

  1. Edit /etc/sysconfig/named and set 
    OPTIONS="-4"
  2. Edit '/etc/named.conf' and set 
    filter-aaaa-on-v4 yes;
    Also optionally comment 'listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };'
  3. Finally use 'service named restart'
