Hi all,

has anyone here explanation why named bind(2)s addresses 0.0.0.0 and
:: ? I have this in options statement:

options {
...
        listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; };
        listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
...
};

but netstat says named listen also on
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:32779            0.0.0.0:*   6898/named
udp        0      0 :::32780                 :::*        6898/named

I'm interested why named listen on that ports.

Adam
