Looks to me like this might not be the reason, as I was able to get it 
to work by using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost:

>> require 'drb'
=> true
>> DRb.start_service('druby://localhost:0')
SocketError: getaddrinfo: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
.....
>> DRb.start_service('druby://127.0.0.1:0')
=> #<DRb::DRbServer:0x383a24 @grp=#<ThreadGroup:0x3839e8>,
.....
