Your name server is trying to use a privileged port number for its
outbound queries (because you told it to do that). However the name
server is not running under the super-user UID and therefore doesn't
have permission to use privileged ports. The messages will go away if
you let the name server use a random, non-privileged port for the
queries it makes: this is its default behaviour after all. ISTR
there's an isue with some Linux systems and super-user UID
processes. The processes give up their super-user status after
starting. Check the bind-users archives or Linux documentation for
details.
