Multiple filterdns processes

I was doing some testing of ipsec+dyndns and with ps auxww and happened to notice two filterdns processes:

root 8512 0.0 0.6 4568 1452 ?? Is 10:23PM 0:00.12 /usr/local/sbin/filterdns -p /var/run/filterdns-ipsec.pid -i 60 -c /var/etc/filterdns-ipsec.hosts -d 1
root 13195 0.0 0.7 4696 1588 ?? INs 10:23PM 0:00.05 /usr/local/sbin/filterdns -p /tmp/filterdns.pid -i 300 -c /var/etc/filterdns.conf -d 1
root 24079 0.0 0.6 4696 1520 ?? Is 1:56AM 0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/filterdns -p /tmp/filterdns.pid -i 300 -c /var/etc/filterdns.conf -d 1

is it normal?

Btw /tmp/filterdns.pid contains only pid 13195 (shouldn't that .pid file be in /var/run for consistency?)

Folks, could you please do a ps auxww | fgrep dns at the pfsense CLI prompt and check how many filterdns processes are running on your system ?

TIA
