> now BIND 9.18 is supporting DoT directly I tried to go away from a solution with stunnel4 and therefore I compiled 9.18.1 and modified named.conf
> So far everything is working fine. All the tests with dig , openssl and lsof is showing it’s working. 
> The problem: when I run a „rndc reload“ the named process is not listen on 853/tcp anymore. All tests with TLS fail. And this on IPv4 as well on IPv6.
> The rest of BIND is working well. Still listening on port 53 on UDP and TCP 
> When I restart the service so that named stops and a new process is started and running then DoT is working again. 
> I run this on Debian 10 buster. 
> The interesting story is I run the same version 9.18.1 on a different Debian 10 buster server. On this server the process „named" survives a „rndc reload“  on port 853 
> 
> Looking at the log I see: 
> network: error: creating TLS socket: permission denied
