There is a process (I don't know which one) which is sending TCP traffic to my configured nameservers every 15 minutes. I can't add this type of traffic to my active-filter because a DNS request is often the first traffic sent out by any process that I _want_ to cause a dialin. If anyone could tell me what service is sending this traffic, that would be helpful. I can provide output of /etc/ppp/options and a tcpdump of the traffic that is causing the unwanted dialins if necessary. I suppose I could set up a static route for the process for the host it's trying to reach (setiathome, if you're curious) and then just add tcp port 53 to my active-filter - but A) that's a terrible kludge, and B) since I upgraded my system from 3.0-R to 3.1-R the active-filter option seems to not be working. Ie, when I add "active-filter tcp 53" to my /etc/ppp/options file, NO traffic will cause a dialin.
