"connection refused" is a bit of a giveaway.

Is BIND configured to listen on localhost ?

I don't see any "listen-on" directives in the named.conf you posted - 
but then we don't know what command line options are being passed in 
your installations init script, nor what is in 
/etc/bind/named.conf.local


In summary, this is a BIND, not a DHCPD, problem. It very much looks 
like BIND is not listening on the loopback interface.

"netstat -anp" may be useful in seeing what is listening on what 
addresses/ports.
