user15533: I'm experimenting with blockchains at home and in my debug logs are lots of errors showing that my nodes are trying to get addresses from the hard coded seed nodes, I know I can use connect to turn off this behaviour but I don't want to have to include that in my bitcoin.conf file.
I am using Bitcoin v0.10.
Any hints greatly appreciated :)

user15533: There are a few ways to do it, I personally went into src/net.cpp and commented out the if condition that triggers the lookup starting at line 1266.
// if (addrman.size() == 0 && (GetTime() - nStart > 60)) {
//     static bool done = false;
//     if (!done) {
//         LogPrintf("Adding fixed seed nodes as DNS doesn't seem to be available.\n");
//         addrman.Add(Params().FixedSeeds(), CNetAddr("127.0.0.1"));
//         done = true;
//     }
// }

Another effective fix was to remove all the encoded seed nodes from the two arrays located in src/chainparamsseeds.cpp
