I am doing some network traces and expecting communication directly between 2 servers. Under the Info column I see conversations between the target port 8004 and dproxy. anybody out there know what dproxy is? I have placed the ip address of the target computer in the local host file to bypass dns. I am using the host file to bypass our F5 load balancer. I would appreciate any help here. Thanks, Berney asked 09 Aug '13, 10:41  the third |

That's just the resolved name for the source port of the connection (dproxy == tcp/udp 1296). If you disable name resolution for that, you will see the real port (1296).

dproxy is a caching DNS proxy for use on dial-up gateway machines. It is designed to behave nicely when the gateway is not connected. Regards http://www.education4world.net/ answered 24 Aug '13, 12:09  Ali Hassan |
A proxy or proxy server is basically another computer which serves as a hub through which internet requests are processed. Regards http://www.virtualians.pk/ answered 24 Aug '13, 12:10  Irfan Khan |
