I don't know whether "listen-on" works under MSW-NT [and will ignore the
craving to add more about what works].  But if you actually have the "["
and "]" characters in your configuration file, it will certainly ignore
it!  Those are meta-characters in the documentation, meant to tell you
that the port number is optional.  The option may be either:

	listen-on 53 { 192.168.168.50; };
or:
	listen-on { 192.168.168.50; };
