Dear Matus,
 
I think you got my point. Yes. I am using Stateful Firewall and not sure my DNS 
server connecting to remote DNS  on non standard port?
 
So where i need to now look?

If you have statefull firewall, you simply need to allow "open" connections
(statefull firewalls can track outgoing UDP packets and match the replies).
If not, you have to allow all traffic from port 53 on remote DNS servers to
your DNS server. Since you can't know all DNS servers, you have to allow all
incoming traffic to your DNS server where source port is 53.

all the "security" is useless if blocks your service. Luckily, most of
firewalls can track the "connection" state.
