Hi Neal,
Webmin actually listens on two ports, which by default are port 10000 TCP
and 10000 UDP. The first is for the actual HTTP connections, while the second
is for accepting broadcasts from other Webmin servers. They are actually configured
separately on the 'Ports and Addresses' page of the 'Webmin Configuration' module.

When sending a broadcast, Webmin will send to the same port number that it listens
on itself.
