named can certainly listen on ports other than 53, but your resolver library probably doesn't have any way to be configured to use a non-53 port.

If you _really_ want to do this, then perhaps you should get the authoritative nameserver to listen on a port other than 53, and put some sort of port translator in front of it. Then port 53 would be freed up on your server for recursive service.

Or, why not just configure a separate virtual interface and have the two nameserver instances listen on different *addresses* instead of ports? I realize that may entail modifications of firewall rules, etc. but it seems cleaner than using a port translator.

Hello,


Would It be possible to configure BIND to be only a recursor for local querries on a different default port than 53?

I have an authoritative server for various zones that I have configured using PowerDNS which is already listening on 53.
PowerDNS recursor comes as an add-on and seems to be very weak and slow.
Of course he should not try to resolve querries for local zones that are handled by PowerDNS (ideally he should transmit these querries to the other DNS server)…


I would like to use regular bind and keep my other server running and resolving querries from the Internet for the zones that we are handling.


Do you have any suggestions?
