That's the way the current code operates. If you are running in client only mode, you don't really need to use port 123 on the local system. It could use any port number, but it might take a while to modify the current source code to do that. If you are just trying to hide from bad guys, using iptables or whatever to only allow packets from the selected servers might work. That gets complicated if you are using the pool. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
