Hi John,
thanks again for your feedback - so I think after the discussion we agree that 
this is the expected behaviour (see the explanation of racb) and thereby I set 
the bug status to invalid instead of new.

Please feel free to set it back to new if I misunderstood you and try to
explain the remaining issue you think one should fix in this regard.

Thanks,
Christian

Title:
  dnsmasq uses many ports

Status in dnsmasq package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The steps required to see that dnsmasq uses many ports are as follows:

    1. Open the browser (e.g. Firefox)
    2. Quickly open many websites on different tabs (3 websites are enough in 
my case)
    3. The connection is slow, so it takes some time until it connects to the 
websites.
    4. Before any connection to the website is made, execute:
                  sudo netstat -veepa -n -W
       and the following ports will appear (some output was omitted for 
clarity):
