This special IP address is resolved internally to "<code>127.0.0.1</code>", so if you have problems in configuring a listener, use the IP address "<code>127.0.0.1</code>" for the resolvable hostname or IP address.

		+	Each incoming connection which has been verified leads to a new Seon SmartProxy server process and a new Seon SmartProxy client process. The Seon SmartProxy client process opens a new connection to the configured Seon receive daemon host.

		+	The Seon SmartProxy server process checks every 60 seconds for an updated security configuration if a client process is connected. This ongoing traffic generates calls at the Seonapi. This 60 second latency must be taken into account when administrating trusted certificates and CRLs.
