 From my resolv.conf

...
options {
...
# listen-on port 53 { any; };
   listen-on port 53 { 192.168.208.227; 192.168.48.227; 127.0.0.1; };
   listen-on port 3001 { 192.168.208.227; 192.168.48.227; 127.0.0.1; };
# listen-on port 5353 { any; };
# listen-on port 5355 { any; };
...
zone "." in {
   type slave;
   file "DNSOP/cesidian-root.zone";
# masters { 205.189.71.2; 205.189.71.26; 205.189.71.34; };
# masters { 82.199.205.254 port 3001; };
   masters { 212.97.45.53; 82.199.205.254 port 3001; };
};
...

Using this nameserver config and using my local nameserver I can
"tunnel" the firewall.


I am told Sun and Mac can understand

/etc/resolv.conf
----------------

nameserver 192.168.48.227:3001
nameserver 192.168.208.228:53
nameserver 192.168.48.222


But I have not tried. My old SuSE linux does not understand it.


dig can do "-p port  (specify port number)"


Kind regards
