These ports are the ones used by nfs and lockd. They will be in use
(and are also privileged, as though they were <1024).

With Solaris I use the following in named.conf options:

  use-v4-udp-ports { range 32768 65535; };
  use-v6-udp-ports { range 32768 65535; };

This is the same as the (default) anonymous port range.
