CentOS - Jul 2008 - POOR: results using 'dig +short porttest.dns-oarc.net TXT'

What are the likely cockpit errors involved when getting POOR results
when running this test on an updated CentOS 5.2?

Kind regards/ldv

[root at shell ~]# dig +short porttest.dns-oarc.net TXT
z.y.x.w.v.u.t.s.r.q.p.o.n.m.l.k.j.i.h.g.f.e.d.c.b.a.pt.dns-oarc.net.
"a.b.c.d is POOR: 26 queries in 1.3 seconds from 1 ports with std dev
0.00"

Having a listen port defined in the config or running named with a "-p
{port}"
will do it.

if this is a centos machine (your dns server) ... you may have a line 
like this in the config named.conf file:

  query-source address * port 53;

Or you may be forwarding to an unpatched DNS server, or you may be behind a NAT
devices that remaps the source ports on outgoing requests.
