Hi Peter,

This is a common misunderstanding with most people. They mistakenly 
assume that if a process is listening on port X, that it will also 
initiate outgoing connections from the same port X.

Even though your DNS2 NSD is _listening_ on port 53000, when it makes an 
_outgoing_ TCP connection to DNS1 NSD for XFR of "my_domain.net", it 
will use a random source port. However, you are _only_ allowing 
connections from DNS2's IP and a specific source port in the 
"provide-xfr" directive on DNS1's NSD. Just remove the @53000.

Anand
