 |udp      324   0 0.0.0.0:4589  0.0.0.0:*          11280/delegated -{0

The UDP ports are for the DNS resolver of DeleGate.
You can see where it is created in the LOGFILE with the following option:

  RES_DEBUG=-1

For examplle as this:

  04/23 21:56:11.92 [8802] 0+0: {R} RES_order(D,CFNDS)
  04/23 21:56:11.92 [8802] 0+0: {R} RES_init()
  04/23 21:56:11.92 [8802] 0+0: {R}         RES_ORDER=D
  04/23 21:56:11.92 [8802] 0+0: {R} load_rslvconf(/etc/resolv.conf)
  ...
  04/23 21:56:11.93 [8802] 0+0: {R} initDNSconn(): pid=8802
  04/23 21:56:11.93 [8802] 0+0: {R} DNS port = 36447/udp [5]
  04/23 21:56:11.93 [8802] 0+0: {R} DNS port = 36448/udp [6]


You can suppress the ports if you rely on the default resolvers of the
host machine, with the parameter as this:

  RESOLV=sys
