excessive DNS requests

Last week, we upgraded to version 2022.2.0.6.
I'm working from home today, and suddenly, DNS queries no longer get resolved.

On my home network, I run a PiHole appliance, and it shows me that my workstation has been rate-limited.
A close look at the numbers:

Some interesting detail:
pihole-detail-blocked

I have had DNS issues in the past, and only on my workstation, but it never occurred to me to check my PiHole server. I've blamed the VPN, and the network setup at the office.
But it looks like RDM does not behave nicely.
(As I have had DNS resolve issues in the past, chances are that it is not a regression in the latest version.)

Hi,

I'll have to double check our telemetry code.
Theoretically, we send them in batch to limit the number of times we hit the website but based on your screenshot, looks like we are not behaving nicely.

Feedback: I haven't seen any DNS issues anymore since the beta version you have sent me.

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us on this issue.
The modification included in your beta build was committed to our main source code shortly after.
So 2022.2.2 releases should behave like your beta build.
