By default I believe BIND uses a random port above 1024 for everything, if you have a restrictive firewall you can change this behavior in named.conf: query-source address * port 53; may be the directive. i think its to reduce BIND's dependence on running as uid root. if you force it to use port 53 for everything you may not be able to run it as non root (I haven't tried forcing it to 53) nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
