The flaw here is that DNS operates over 53(UDP), last time I checked SSH doesn't do UDP port forwarding?
In the interests of dispelling a common myth, DNS operates over both 53/udp and 53/tcp. However, given that a substantial portion of most clients' queries will likely use UDP transport, your fundamental point stands.
Sorry, yes, you are 100% correct in that, but as you say in practice all client resolver queries are most likely to be over UDP :) Cheers, Trent
