Yes, this will change the port that BIND listens on, however, how will the 
rest of the world know to talk to your implementation of BIND that is 
running on port 953.  The rest of the DNS speaking world is looking for 
name resolution on port 53.  Your server may stay up, although I don't see 
why changing the port would solve the problem, but, no one would be able 
to talk to it.  Either way, staying up and running on the wrong port or 
crashed, the result is the same, no name resolution.


Unfortunately, I have never seen the errors stated by the OP, so, I can't 
offer any other solution.  I think someone else will pipe in though.
