udp_incoming_address and udp_outgoing_address

Hi again,

Since my servers have 2 nics, I want to use the internal nic for the ICP traffic...
But I am a bit confused by the udp params.

>From the doc:
#       If udp_outgoing_address is set to 255.255.255.255 (the default)
#       it will use the same socket as udp_incoming_address.

Outgoing using the same socket as incoming is fine with me, so I tried:
 udp_incoming_address 192.168.17.11
 udp_outgoing_address 255.255.255.255
But my siblings won't talk.

>From the doc:
#       NOTE, udp_incoming_address and udp_outgoing_address can not
#       have the same value since they both use port 3130.

So I created eth aliases just for udp_outgoing_address, which works but is a bit overkill...
By curiosity, I tried to put the same IP for incoming and outgoing and it seems to work fine...

I understand incoming has to listen on a specific port but why would outgoing use this and only this same specific port...?
What am I getting wrong?

Thx,
JD
