10.6: Turn off automatic wake-from-sleep network check
Authored by: hamouras on Jun 13, '11 08:07:44AM
As of version 10.6.5 the mDNSResponder supports a new command line option (DisableSleepProxyClient) which disables the automatic wake-for-network-access feature.

To enable this option edit the file

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
so that the ProgramArguments entry includes the option, like this:

	<key>ProgramArguments</key>
	<array>
		<string>/usr/sbin/mDNSResponder</string>
		<string>-launchd -DisableSleepProxyClient</string>
	</array>
Relaunch the mDNSResponder daemon and you're done.

10.6: Turn off automatic wake-from-sleep network check
Authored by: pecosbill on Apr 20, '12 01:42:26PM

Haven't retested this, but -DisableSleepProxyClient killed my startup on 10.6.8 :-( Was really hoping it was the solution as it's cleaner than the original post.
