should clear it up

The square brackets are necessary when specifying a non-standard DNS port [1]

nameserver  IPv4 address (in dot notation) or IPv6 address (in hex-and-
                 colon notation) of a name server that the resolver should
query. Scoped IPv6 address notation is accepted as well (see
                 inet6(4) for details).  A non-standard port may also be
specified, with the host address enclosed in square brackets.
                 For example:

                       nameserver [10.0.0.1]:5353
                       nameserver [::1]:5353
