Foreign port 53 connections?

[Pedro Fonseca]

Greetings!

I'm running Bind on a host with a static IP. Bind listens on port 53. The
problem is, that my firewall is blocking packets coming arriving from
computers' port 53 to my host on some port bigger than 1023...

Why are other nameservers trying to access my host? If they wanted to
communicate with my nameserver, shouldn't they do it from their port 53 to
my 53?
