mDNSResponder was enough to keep it quiet but this doesn't work as intended anymore on Snow Leopard as all DNS activity goes through mDNSResponder now.Apple's KB explains how to properly disable those broadcast advertisements:
sudo vim /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist- Add
<string>-NoMulticastAdvertisements</string>at the end of theProgramArgumentsarray. - Save the file
- Restart
mDNSResponder:sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plistsudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
mDNSResponder.
