sockd.fr(5)

NAME

   sockd.fr - Frozen route file for multi-homed SOCKS proxy server

SYNOPSIS

   /etc/sockd.fr

DESCRIPTION

   The  frozen  route  file is produced by make_sockdfr and is essentially
   the memory image of the parsed route file. Using the frozen route  file
   can  reduce  the start-up delay of the SOCKS server program since it no
   longer has to parse the file contents.

   When the SOCKS server starts, it always looks for the frozen route file
   /etc/sockd.fr  first.  If  that file is not found, it then tries to use
   the plain-text route file /etc/sockd.route. If  you  use  frozen  route
   file, you must remember to run make_sockdfr every time after you modify
   the plain-text file or the SOCKS server will continue to use the frozen
   version of a previous route file.

   To find out the contents of a frozen route file, use dump_sockdfr.
