Firewall: IPSO 3.5 FCS8 / 4.1 SP6

I posted an error to the lists about "allocate_port: could not find a free
port for host 0, port 53". As phoneboy replied, this was a well documented
error.  I just didn't go digging.  While our DNS guys are trying to get the
internal DNS server to send queries out on a high source port, instead of
53, I was trying to setup static NAT for the traffic, as one of the
recommended workarounds.  I don't know if it is because I already have a
bunch of NAT entries for this server, which originally is subject to
HIDE-NAT, but when I setup a manual static NAT rule, I still see traffic
going out with the original HIDE address.  I can get this to work just fine
from my own PC, just doing NSLOOKUPS to our ISP DNS server.  They get
statically NAT'd just fine.  I switch the NAT rule back to our internal DNS
server, dump on the external interface for the static address, and get
nothing.  The queries are going through the firewall, not just getting
cached, and are returning successful.  Anyone else run into this problem?
Thanks for any help.
