My opinion: Most uses of this should be removed.

ICP & HTCP should have it's address specified in the icp_port directive,
at least for incoming. If there is need for a separate incoming address
then add an icp/htcp_outgoing_port directive..

Where is it used by syslog?

Not sure about the DNS client.
