If <command>port</command> is <command>*</command> or is omitted,
a pool of random unprivileged ports will be used. See the

is configured.
The <command>avoid-v4-udp-ports</command>
and <command>avoid-v6-udp-ports</command> options can be used
to prevent named
from selecting certain ports.
The defaults are:
a random port number from a pre-configured
range is picked up and will be used for each query.
The port range(s) is that specified in
the <command>use-v4-udp-ports</command> (for IPv4)
and <command>use-v6-udp-ports</command> (for IPv6)
options, excluding the ranges specified in
the <command>avoid-v4-udp-ports</command>
and <command>avoid-v6-udp-ports</command> options, respectively.

The defaults of the <command>query-source</command> and

If <command>use-v4-udp-ports</command> or
<command>use-v6-udp-ports</command> is unspecified,
<command>named</command> will check if the operating
system provides a programming interface to retrieve the
system's default range for ephemeral ports.
If such an interface is available,
<command>named</command> will use the corresponding system
default range; otherwise, it will use its own defaults:
</para>
<programlisting>use-v4-udp-ports { range 1024 65535; };
use-v6-udp-ports { range 1024 65535; };
</programlisting>
<para>
Note: make sure the ranges be sufficiently large for
security. A desirable size depends on various parameters,
but we generally recommend it contain at least 16384 ports
(14 bits of entropy).
Note also that the system's default range when used may be
too small for this purpose, and that the range may even be
changed while <command>named</command> is running; the new
range will automatically be applied when <command>named</command>
is reloaded.
It is encouraged to
configure <command>use-v4-udp-ports</command> and
<command>use-v6-udp-ports</command> explicitly so that the
ranges are sufficiently large and are reasonably
independent from the ranges used by other applications.

Note: the operational configuration
where <command>named</command> runs may prohibit the use
of some ports. For example, UNIX systems will not allow
<command>named</command> running without a root privilege
to use ports less than 1024.
If such ports are included in the specified (or detected)
set of query ports, the corresponding query attempts will
fail, resulting in resolution failures or delay.
It is therefore important to configure the set of ports
that can be safely used in the expected operational environment.
