   Hi all,

   I was wondering: every time someone visits one of my two WordPress sites, my httpd tries to create an UDP connection with 85.25.252.106 on port 8000.

   I have installed (and activated) the following plugins:

   • akismet
   • WPsyslog
   • WP-Shortstat
   • Wassup

   In a tcpdump I discovered that the IP address of the visited client is transmitted through that connection.

   Does anyone know what purpose this serves?

   Thanks in advance for your answer.

   Peter

   Found it in wp-shortstat: $fp = fsockopen("udp://whois.happyarts.net", 8000, $errno, $errstr, 2);

   Thanks anyway.
