When the nameserver needs to send recursive queries, it will use local IP
address 0.0.0.0 and port 2344.  Address 0.0.0.0 means that it will let the
OS choose the source address appropriate for the interface that the query
is going through (i.e. you didn't use the 'query-source' option to force a
specific IP address to be used).
