This is a fact--the internet would not work if DNS uses dynamic port to listen to? You must understand, all these known port numbers are used to start up client connections, however dynamic port assignment is part of the process to create connections between clients and servers. So a client starts with port 53 as its destination port, then the DNS, which listen on this port, assign a port dynamically for the end user. When the connection is established between the client and server, port 53 is out of the established connection. But still, why netstat does not show the port numbers?

Which one is likely to be true? Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
