Bug Fixes

Enhancements

• You can now turn off dialing on DNS - this will probably mean you need to connect manually now, so we've added a facility to trigger a connection from a remote machine
• Added a DNS.LOG file which contains all DNS queries which have been made - useful for logging or diagnostic purposes
