Port udp/1094 with BIND 9.2.1

[dbotham at edeltacom.com]

Bernhard,

Bind uses an ephemeral port number as the source port for its queries.
This can be changed with the query-source option...

However, by default, what you are seeing is perfectly normal.  Changing it
back to port 53 helps pass dns through firewalls and stuff like that.... :)

Hope this helps.

Dave...

Hi everyone,

my freshly installed bind also listens on port udp/1094. I can't find
any comments neither in the documentation nor in google-groups what this
port is used for and how to disable it.

BIND 9.2.1 on FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE, sockstat says:

[...]
bind     named      352    8 udp46  *:1094                *:*
[...]

How can I disable this?
