Is Noscript calling this?

[Horst]

Hi.

(No native english, sorry)
If I start Firefox (NoScript deactivated), the usual Firefox instances will be started. If I start
Firefox (NoScript activated), additionally a Firefox instance started, which makes a connection to X.
If I start another browser (no Noscript), this X-address is not called also. Everything tested with
TCP View, several 100 times.
In my simple way of thinking I understand in such a way that X is thus called by Noscript. It is always
the same address. This address cannot be attained sometimes, sometimes is it to be sold.
Please someone can say to me,
a) what has to do this address with Noscript,
b) how I can prevent this call, and
c) where and how this address is merged.
The address(X) is: n1plpkivs-v03.any.prod.ams1.secureserver.net (HTTP).
My system is Windows Vista with Firefox3 and Noscript2, all up-to-date. I read the FAQ and found no help with the search function in the forum.

Thanks, Horst.

This address is a DNS alias for ocsp.godaddy.com, which is called by Firefox to validate the SSL certificate of secure.informaction.com.

Regarding why https://secure.informaction.com/ipecho is called and how to prevent this from happening, see http://noscript.net/abe/wan and http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=7
