It's matching all lines in netstat that contain "53" anywhere.  It could 
be in the IP address, or you could be seeing Unix domain sockets with 53 
in the hex code.

Can't you read the man page for wc?  The second column is the number of

It's sessions from clients to you.

TCP is usually used for zone transfers, but may also be used if a 
response is too big for UDP.
