TAG NAME udp_incoming_address, udp_outgoing_address

Description Defines the address for sending and receiving ICP packets
Build Option
 Default
Usage
 udp_incoming_address ip_address
udp_outgoing_address ip_address
Default
 udp_incoming_address 0.0.0.0
udp_outgoing_address 255.255.255.255
Synopsis
These tags defines the interface through which ICP packets are sent and received. The default behavior is to not bind to any specific address.

A udp_incoming_address value of 0.0.0.0 indicates that Squid should listen for UDP messages on all available interfaces.

If udp_outgoing_address is set to 255.255.255.255 (the default) then it will use the same socket as udp_incoming_address. Only change this if you want to have ICP queries sent using another address than where this Squid listens for ICP queries from other caches.

Arguments

ip_address
 ip_address to which Squid binds the ICP socket


Note: udp_incoming_address and udp_outgoing_address cannot have the same value since they both use port 3130.

Example(s)
udp_incoming_address 172.16.1.35
udp_outgoing_address 192.168.150.6
