Hello,
I wondering how i can send queries to a dns resolver listening on a
different port than the normaly 53 tcp/udp ?
The situation:
I've got a vps who running NSD as a autoritative nameserver, listening
on tcp/udp 53 and unbound as personnal resolver, listening on a
different tcp/udp port. It work very well on his own or with my OpenBSD
gateway at home as DNS cache.
Recently i've got a new FreeBSD VPS and I want to use the first VPS as
DNS nameserver for the second VPS but FreeBSD is unable to send queries
to nameserver on a different port as the normal one (tcp/udp 53).
I've got a "bad" solution, use unbound on the second VPS and maybe tell
him to ask the 1rst VPS on the unusual tcp/udp port, but I wonder myself
if is it possible with Packet Filter to change the destination port of
the queries forwarded to my 1rst VPS from tcp/udp 53 to tcp/udp 5353 for
exemple ?
Or maybe anybody got a other solution ?
I hope you'll understand me :-/

If I understand the way it works correctly, the resolver pulls a list of
the NS and hard-sets the port number for each to 53 (via a manifest
constant) . See libc/resolv/res_init.c. All you need to do(!) is change
this to a value of your choice and recompile libc (and anything that
links to it statically) and it should be sorted. Or find an easier
work-around. I don't see any reason why the resolver library can't be
modified to pick up a range of port numbers from the config (as other
systems have), but AFAIK it can't.
The resolver isn't part of the kernel - it's the application doing the
lookup, not FreeBSD (except in libc being part of the base system). Oh
you know what I mean! Each application makes its own lookup.
I could be spectacularly out-of-date with this.
