Hi,

I have a single-instance L4D server (no forks) running on a specific IP 
address.  When the server first started it bound to the normal ports 
(TCP 27015, and UDP 27005, 27015, 27020) and not much else.  But after 
running for a few days, it's now bound to 47 UDP ports:

$ netstat -an | grep <IP ADDRESS>

Server appears to still be working just fine, but is this normal for a 
single, non-forked, no-frills server?  All but the standard ports are 
blocked by our firewall so they can't be connected to anyway.

I started another vanilla server last night on the same box using a 
different IP address and it is only using the expected ports:

$ netstat -an | grep <IP ADDRESS 2>
tcp        0      0 <IP ADDRESS 2>:27015           0.0.0.0:* 
        LISTEN
udp        0      0 <IP ADDRESS 2>:27015           0.0.0.0:*
udp        0      0 <IP ADDRESS 2>:27020           0.0.0.0:*
udp        0      0 <IP ADDRESS 2>:26901           0.0.0.0:*
udp        0      0 <IP ADDRESS 2>:27005           0.0.0.0:*

Any ideas or suggestions?  OS is CentOS 5.2 (32-bit).

     Thanks,
     Dave
