ReadyDrop.Netgear.com 50k DNS requests per day from ReadyNAS

Hi,

I've recently noticed that I do get more than 50k request on my DNS server from ReadyDrop.netgear.com per day. This domain does not resolve anymore as : Effective September 1, 2016, NETGEAR will be terminating the ReadyNAS ReadyDROP service.

 

For this reason, Netgear should remove it from their ReadyNas. 50k per day is quite a lot of useless DNS requests.

 

As you can see below, the deamon is still running on Ver 6.8.0.

root 5170 0.0 0.0 12584 168 ? S Aug18 0:00 /opt/readydrop/bin/rdbrokerd
root 5171 0.0 0.0 4336 1620 ? S Aug18 0:16 /bin/sh /opt/readydrop/bin/rdhook.sh

 

I have the same issue with ReadyNAS 102.
