There is a squid process listening on a random port with protocol udp each time I start squid and I'm not sure what it does.

I do a "ps -ef | grep squid" and get

root     22110     1  0 18:24 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/squid3 -D -sYC
proxy    22113 22110  0 18:24 ?        00:00:00 (squid) -D -sYC

I do a "sudo netstat -tlnup | grep squid" and get

tcp        0      0 10.6.7.0:3128           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      22113/(squid)
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:36947           0.0.0.0:*                           22113/(squid)

I'm ok with the one listening on 10.6.7.0:3128, but what does the process do that's listening on 0.0.0.0:36947?

I checked syslog and found, "DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 36947, FD 8". Is this a DNS process of some sort? Can I disable it? If not, is there a way for me to make it listen on a specific ip or interface instead of 0.0.0.0?

I already disabled the icp process so it doesn't show up.
