Hi, Paul,

Unfortunately, that isn't always possible - or prudent.

I have the same problem here, with no way to turn it off.  There's only 
one other ISP here, and we switched from them about 3 years ago because 
of their poor service (internet was out for a week because of a "line 
problem" - and not the first time!).

I hadn't thought about Matt's suggestion to change to a different DNS 
because it hasn't been that much of a problem (I just do link checking 
by SSHing into the server).  But it's been a hassle at times (i.e. type 
in a long URL but mistype one character - and have to enter it all over 
again) that I'd like to cure.
