This has nothing to do with DNS.  The "bind" in the above error is from 
inetd complaining that it cannot attach to port 22 (TCP) as the address 
is already is use.

inetd is complaining because, the chances are, ssh has been configured 
not to run out of inetd and is already running and blocking port 22.

You shouldn't be running ssh from inetd anyway.
