Hello, i`m somewhat new to squid "in depth" configuration and need some advice. i run an older squid release on a multi-homed system which connects to the internet on the first interface, to the local net (10.0.0.0) on the second interface (10.0.0.1) for hardening purpose i configured squid to bind to internal interface only (10.0.0.1:3128) and disabled all additional ports (icp_port etc.) now, there is one open port left and i`m not sure what`s the purpose of this: udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:34806 0.0.0.0:* 6593/(squid) why does squid listen to udp requests ? there seems a relation to this params: # udp_incoming_address 0.0.0.0 # udp_outgoing_address 255.255.255.255 but if i bind udp port to internal interface, squid won`t resolve names anymore. why this? squid.conf is telling, that this params ar for icp sockets, not for dns # udp_incoming_address is used for the ICP socket receiving packets # from other caches. # udp_outgoing_address is used for ICP packets sent out to other # caches. any hints how to disable this port for listening or binding to internal interface only ? would it help if i update to most recent squid release ? regards roland _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen! http://smartsurfer.web.de/?mc=100071&distributionid=000000000066
