For some reason queries to epmd are made from an address that is not
recognised as local by epmd. This could be caused by kernel routing or
firewall setup, it might be a IPv6 issue, or some other network
peculiarity. You could either try to solve that, so that debug output
from epmd looks like the sample I sent, or you could patch epmd to drop
the local address constraint, by unconditionally setting
  s->local_peer = EPMD_TRUE;
in conn_open() in erts/epmd/src/epmd_srv.c in the Erlang sources.

You might also want to ask over at the erlang-questions mailing list, as
this is not a RabbitMQ-specific issue.
