Well, of course. I meant the specific verbage. For example; heres What I've thrown at it so far: NAME: udp_incoming_address TYPE: address LOC:Config.Addrs.udp_incoming DEFAULT: 0.0.0.0 DOC_START udp_incoming_address is used for UDP packets received from other caches. The default behavior is to not bind to any specific address. Only change this if you want to have all UDP queries received on a specific interface/addres. NOTE: udp_incoming_address is used by the ICP, HTCP, and DNS modules. Altering it will affect all of them in the same manner. see also; udp_outgoing_address NOTE, udp_incoming_address and udp_outgoing_address can not have the same value since they both use the same port. DOC_END NAME: udp_outgoing_address TYPE: address LOC: Config.Addrs.udp_outgoing DEFAULT: 255.255.255.255 DOC_START udp_outgoing_address is used for UDP packets sent out to other caches. The default behavior is to not bind to any specific address. Instead it will use the same socket as udp_incoming_address. Only change this if you want to have UDP queries sent using another address than where this Squid listens for UDP queries from other caches. NOTE: udp_outgoing_address is used by the ICP, HTCP, DNS, and syslog modules. Altering it will affect all of them in the same manner. see also; udp_incoming_address NOTE, udp_incoming_address and udp_outgoing_address can not have the same value since they both use the same port.
