SSH Sentinel 1.3 / DNS

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.vpn (More info?)

Hello!

I'm using SSH Sentinel 1.3 to connect to my Netgear FVS318. The SSH runs
on a laptop under Windows XP SP1 with configured DNS (via DHCP). The VPN
works fine.

Now I detected that the laptop about every minute tries to make a DNS
request to get the IP of the target VPN gateway (a dyndns.org hostname)
although no VPN connection is initialized or requested. Only the SSH
service and the SSH monitor service are running in the background (this
is standard after installation).

This issue is not serious if the laptop is directly connected to the
LAN, but when "on the road" this results in a dialin connection if the
modem / ISDN is connected.

What can I do to suppress these DNS requests?
