Modern versions of BIND use a random UDP port for each outgoing

this feature, and to configure their firewalls to accommodate it.

policy you can try enabling the option below. Use of this option
will significantly reduce your ability to withstand cache poisoning
attacks, and should be avoided if at all possible.

/* Slaving the following zones from the root name servers has some
significant advantages:
1. Faster local resolution for your users
2. No spurious traffic will be sent from your network to the roots
3. Greater resilience to any potential root server failure/DDoS
On the other hand, this method requires more monitoring than the
hints file to be sure that an unexpected failure mode has not
incapacitated your server. Name servers that are serving a lot
of clients will benefit more from this approach than individual
hosts. Use with caution.
To use this mechanism, uncomment the entries below, and comment
the hint zone above.
