redirect-gateway, local network hostnames still resolveable?

newuser44

hi,

i noticed that my client is sending out DNS requests to 244.0.0.252, a multicast dns - apparently for dns resolution.
but why is windows 7 doing this? i was expecting "redirect-gateway" to just destroy local name resolution because my systems is now using a differnt dns server...
why is this not so?

im pretty sure that "redirect-gateway def1" works, because wireshark is mostly showing openvpn traffic on my ethernet card.

redirect-gateway just adds a new default gateway and has nothing to do
with your dns settings (or wins).
