This is a fact--the internet would not work if DNS uses dynamic port to
listen to? You must understand, all these known port numbers are used to
start up client connections, however dynamic port assignment is part of the
process to create connections between clients and servers. So a client
starts with port 53 as its destination port, then the DNS, which listen on
this port, assign a port dynamically for the end user. When the connection
is established between the client and server, port 53 is out of the
established connection. 

But still, why netstat does not show the port numbers?

  You can believe that the Internet doesn't work, or you can believe
that you don't understand the output of "netstat".

  Which one is likely to be true?
