Ack! My apologies. Poor reading and poor wording.

Not sure I follow what you are saying here. Are you saying that it
is pretty easy for a DNS admin to figure out what port you are running the
DNS server on (if so how?) or are you saying that port 54 is a well agreed
upon port for this purpose. I doubt very much that it is the latter, since
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers states that port 54 is
assigned to XNS (whatever that is).
