Reason for change: When bind-dynamic option is enabled in dnsmasq.conf, the DNS ports were dynamically bound to the active interface IPs. As a result, port 53 is no longer observed as open on non-relevant interfaces.
Risks: Low

We are already passing bind-dynamic as an argument to dnsmasq. If it is not handled in some scenarios, please fix that. Otherwise, remove bind-dynamic from the arguments and keep it only in the configuration file. We should not maintain this option in both the config file and the dnsmasq arguments.
