I haven't had a whole lot of luck yet sniffing UDP packets. I was able to get the sniffer runner, but there is hardly any UDP traffic. What I think is happening, is that these UDP ports are being used to communicate over the loopback (localhost) adapter.
DNS resolution is disabled on these Apache instances, so that's definately not it either. The number of UDP ports seems to climb the longer Apache is running. --- Axel-Stéphane SMORGRAV <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Could it possibly be for communication with a DNS > server ?
