The same thing happened to me this morning.  There are no (authorized or
unauthorized) nsupdates going to the server in question.  It stopped
listening on udp/53 and tcp/53 (as in, connections to these ports returned
ICMP Port Unreachable and TCP RSTs from the OS).  It wouldn't accept an
AF_UNIX socket connection from ndc either (I don't have it configured to
accept control connections via TCP, but I would imagine that would be dead
also).  Killed and restarted it and it took off ...
