This is likely the DNS proxy, which you might see announcing itself if you
check the startup logs. This is used if PowerDNS needs to resolve ALIAS
records.

dnsproxy.cc:  g_log<<Logger::Error<<"DNS Proxy launched, local port "<<ntohs(local.sin4.sin_port)<<", remote "<<d_remote.toStringWithPort()<<endl;
