[squid-users] Extra Squid process?

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.
