He already said he turned off the ICP port, so I'm guessing that isn't it. Also, the ICP port is 3130 by default, not 1414. Squid also can use a udp port for snmp (default 3401). FWIW, I found a couple of references to squid's use of a random high udp port on the squid-user list. The only responses I could find indicated that this port is used for DNS. -Kevin
