I also looked at the RedHat bugzilla and found:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=143558

It is supposed to be fixed with this:

http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2004-696.html

have caching-nameserver installed on a DNS server that is anything other
than a caching-nameserver :).  It is indeed the caching-nameserver package
that is causing the issue.
