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.
