[SOLVED] Why is Moode pounding my router?

@HemiRick

You haven't "fixed" the problem; you've just told your DNS server to lie when it's asked to resolve a bogus FQDN.

I've about concluded I can't help you but before I give up I have one last request:

On your moOde player, what is the content of these three files 

/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/dhcpcd.conf

Don't paraphrase, just copy them into code blocks in your reply.

If these are clean then I concede the game to rb0135
