Idea #22291: Alternate Port DNS Entries Allowed

Written by johndoe32102002 the 5 Nov 09 at 01:59. Related project: Network Manager. Status: New
Rationale
Adding a DNS server entry to Ubuntu that does not utilize the default port 53 is not currently possible.

Entries of DNS servers that do not use port 53 should be allowed directly in the GUI settings, or at least in a configuration file.

(my ISP blocks port 53)

Solution #1: Ability to Add Port
Written by johndoe32102002 the 5 Nov 09 at 01:59.
It would be great to have the ability to enter [DNS_server_IP]:[Port] for DNS servers in Ubuntu's Network Manager.

Shouldn't this be an enhancement bug in Network Manager module? I think so.

Isn't an "enhancement bug" the same thing as an idea?

I think so.

It is okay for Linux to be better than OSX or Windows. In addition, not all DNS servers run on port 53, so there should be an option available to utilize alternative DNS ports.

BTW: My ISP does heavy DNS filtering on port 53.
