However, named is still picking a "random" UDP port on startup and
locking it down (2 if you're also using IPv6) although it's not
immediately clear to me why.

And the answer is .... in order to make the -P1 releases as clean as possible, that part of the code was not touched (which I think is a very good decision) and that port may continue to see use down the road.

hope this helps,

Doug
