Why does the named have to bind on the 0.0.0.0 address?
When doest it have to do a query_source?

I would apreciate any explainations!
Thanks in advance!

Here this part of the code:
src =3D server_options->query_source;
src.sin_port =3D htons(0);
if (bind(sp->s_rfd, (struct sockaddr *)&src, sizeof(src)) < 0)
ns_info(ns_log_default, "tcp_send: bind(query_source):
%s",
strerror(errno));
