DNS Caching

Quote:I was surprised to find, Proxo speaking with the DNS Servers of my ISP when given server rights. ( It is talking with Servers at port 53)

Hmmm, what program are you using to determine that Proxo is using that port? I'm under the impression that Proxo only uses and monitors Port 80 (and of course, Port 443 if your using SSL).

Worse, I've always thought that Proxo already is a server - a proxy server, to be exact. It's installed on Port 80 at address 127.0.0.1. So now I wanna know, did you somehow give Proxo additional "server rights", or something like that?

But just to be fair, let's see what the Peanut Gallery has to say. Is anybody else here monitoring their port usage, and logging the results? Is Port 53 being accessed by Proxo? Equally as important, can anyone tell us just what programs/utilities/OS subroutines are accessing Port 53?

Inquiring minds wanna know! [rolleyes]
