Pipes are unidirectional. We need to pass data both ways, so we would need to
create two pipes for each channel.

One process listens on 53, and it is the authoritative server. But then a
connection requesting a zone transfer can come and it needs to be passed into
another process handling these.

The other reason will not be valid on windows, so we can ignore it (creating
privileged sockets).

With regards
