Is there a way I can specify source port for the dig, I have setup with 
firewall, and my nameserver source port is abcd, but I am unable to make 
the dig to use the same, thus firewall stops the dig random source port 
requests.

I can recompile it, but it is the last option for me.

I found bind8 dig supports it by syntax but it didn't really worked for me

dig  -b 192.168.1.1:abcd

and bind 9 dig mentioned only the source ip address but source port is 
not the option, or perhaps I missed it.
