You sure about that version number? 2.x is ever so old
I suspect 3.52

It depends if it's configured as part of an array or ICP cluster,
if it isn't then no. If it is then it uses UDP packets to determine
which server has the requested document, in both of these cases it
should be just to the other members of the array or a broadcast address.
