Publishing udp range larger than 16383 ending with 65535 breaks dns resolution on user defined networks with root networking.

[TheSiman]

Issue Description

When publishing a udp range larger than 16383 ports ending with 65535, dns resolution on user defined networks stops working. I could only reproduce it with larger ranges ending with 65535.
(the intended use-case was coturn)

1. 49152-65535:49152-65535/udp (doesn't work)
2. 49152-65535:49152-65535/tcp (tcp - works)
3. 49153-65535:49153-65535/udp (1 port smaller - works)
4. 45000-65534:45000-65534/udp (much larger range, but ends 1 port before 65535 - works)

Steps to reproduce the issue

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. podman network create debug
2. podman run --rm -it --publish 45000-65534:45000-65534/udp docker.io/debian
3. podman run --rm -it --network=debug docker.io/debian apt update

Because you exhaust the ephemeral port range on the host with the ports. As such the aardvark-dns can no longer make dns requests on its own. At least that is the error condition.

It is not clear from the strace but it looks like aardvark-dns requests a random port on bind not 0 where the kernel should assign a random free one
bind(10, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53788), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = -1 EADDRINUSE (Address already in use)

Thus it is likely a bug in aardvark-dns as it should just bind port 0 because if we look in the kernel there is still plenty of space.

$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
32768 60999

I'm sorry, I don't completely follow. Why would freeing up port 65535 fix it if this was the case, since it's well outside of the ip_local_port_range and the chance of it being picked randomly seems extremely low?

[Luap99]

I agree that is seems odd to we hit 65535 randomly but I looked at the code and this is what our lib is doing, it also does not respect ip_local_port_range at all.

https://github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns/blob/f1489da675c21fddc189f2c9505bc9da6c156835/crates/proto/src/udp/udp_stream.rs#L291-L339

No idea why they did this instead of just binding to 0 and let the kernel pick the port.

[Luap99]

Note that I linked the new range there that is not in a new release yet so we do not make use of it,
hickory-dns/hickory-dns@8f05d14

And if I look at the strace output we have thousands of bind retires so It makes sense that it hit the one free one eventually.

I created hickory-dns/hickory-dns#2260 over there
