[Server-devel] MPP port selection

The choice of port for the MPP server (953) was unfortunate.
It is also used by BIND9's remote control interface (rndc).

Can we get this changed ASAP ?
How about a less useful service, like gopher or timed ?
Or a non-priviledged port ?

And while we are at it, can we use a less common address for the
ANYCAST ?   Something like  172.31.252.252.   I don't want to have
routing conflicts with some ISP assigning 192.168.x.x to the WAN.
