Ralph,

I'm trying to determine what significant operational benefits there
are in being able to run DNS on a different port number.
I've yet to see any good explanation of this, hence I'm trying to figure
out what folks might have had in mind. Better support for walled gardens
might have been one thing that some folks might have had in mind.

But I really feel a need to see the significant benefits explained.

  Erik
