It wanted to check if localhost was blocked by rbl. As lookups on rbl are very shortlived, a dial-on-demand connection was made every 5 minutes. As I'm fairly sure I'm not in rbl (and don't want to check every 5 minutes) I put my nameserver as authoritative for 0.0.127.maps.rbl.vix.com. and 0.168.192.maps.rbl.vix.com. This stopped the connection to be dialed every 5 minutes. Leif To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
