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 5118 0.0 0.1 45036 4548 ? Ss Aug18 0:05 /usr/sbin/readydropd 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.
