man named.conf:
  Query Address
     If the server doesn't know the answer to a question, it will query other
     nameservers.  query-source specifies the address and port used for such
     queries.  If address is * or is omitted, a wildcard IP address (
     INADDR_ANY) will be used.  If port is * or is omitted, a random unprivi-
     leged port will be used.  The default is
           query-source address * port *;

     Note: query-source currently applies only to UDP queries; TCP queries
     always use a wildcard IP address and a random unprivileged port.
