Bind Listen on alternate Port

[codeguru111]

If I have to make bind listen to a specific port no for any ip, say for ip 1.2.3.4 listen on port 5353, how do I accomplish this in freeBSD. I'm using bind version 9.

Exactly the same as you would on any other system that runs BIND.

I suppose

 listen-on {1.2.3.4 port 5353; bla; bla;};

is the way to do this. But this one is not working for me in FreeBSD.

No, that's not correct. It should be something like:

listen-on port 5353 { 1.2.3.4; };

I suppose
listen-on {1.2.3.4 port 5353; bla; bla;};
is the way to do this. But this one is not working for me in freeBSD.

Does the client know that it should ask on port 5353 ?
