It's not reserving them. It's using them. They'll be the ports from
which back-end DNS client queries are sent. If you want another
application to bind to a specific UDP/IP port, then run it first. If
you want to do something else, then follow the hyperlink, in the
Security bulletin that you read, to MSKB article 953230 and read that.

Running another app first is not a reliable suggestion. However,
customizing the ports that DNS uses is definitely a reliable solution.

The problem with running another app first is that that other app might
shut down or unbind for some reason.
