Well, that's by far not the only service it requests; it fills up the  
log with those messages. I probably picked the least crucial one, it's  
also trying to lookup com.apple.system.notification_center,  
com.apple.system.DirectoryService.libinfo_v1,  
com.apple.SystemConfiguration.configd and lots more.

So if you write that "mDNSResponder has a policy set on it", I guess  
my question is, where do these policies get set?

Thanks a lot,
Björn
