I ran a netstat on some of my apache server hosts looking for UDP sockets, but 
could not find any. The only UDP sockets I could see were on the NTP port. Then 
I tried lsof and could not find anything concerning httpd either.

I am therefore wondering whether you could possibly have a module that I do not 
have or use a command that opens a UDP connection for some reason, for example 
a piped log to transfer logs to a remote server (although doing that over UDP 
seems strange).

-ascs

PS: I am using Apache 2.0.54, and the following is an exhaustive list of all 
the modules, both compiled-in and dynamically linked:

http_core.c
mod_access.c
mod_alias.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_cache.so
mod_cgid.c
mod_deflate.so
mod_dir.c
mod_disk_cache.so
mod_env.c
mod_expires.so
mod_filter.so
mod_headers.c
mod_info.so
mod_log_config.c
mod_mime.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_proxy.c
mod_rewrite.c
mod_setenvif.c
mod_so.c
mod_ssl.so
mod_status.c
mod_userdir.c
proxy_connect.c
proxy_ftp.c
proxy_http.c
worker.c

Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache listening for UDP requests?

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.
