DNS source ports and RFC's

	I'm attempting to load balance DNS using Arrowpoint equipment. At the 
point I'm at now, I can run Bind on server ports and have the Arrow pass 
port 53 requests to several machines running several instances.
	What I can't do is get the source port to act correctly. Requests come in 
to port 53 get passed to port say... 3001 on the machines behind the Arrow 
and then passed back to the client with a source port of 3001 instead of 53.

Does this break anything or go against any RFC's. I'm currently searching, 
but if anyone already knows, I"d love to hear from you.
