BIND is not the only application that makes queries. POSIX
is not the only platform that makes queries. Even if you
have a POSIX box middleware may change the port to something
less than 1024.
When you restrict the source ports to something other than
the entire range you are making lots of assumptions about
the sender and all the middleware involved that actually
don't hold true in many cases.
Your problem was caused by a misconfigured firewall. That
firewall should be fixed. It remains a potential source
of problems until it is fixed.
