Re: Why one port?

Actually, deployment is much easier as follows: existing client -> client forwarding tool on 127.0.0.1 port 53 -> cache forwarding tool on cache IP address on another port -> existing cache on port 53 Both sides install new software, but there aren't any changes to the existing software. The same approach also makes it fairly easy to deploy client-cache security protocols. ---D. J.
