If you've done a "default" installation, there are many packages installed
that will poll a DNS until you configure them...
I.E. bind, tin, news, routed, gated, yp, samba, etc.
You should turn everything you don't need off in the sysinit control panel,
(for whatever runlevels you use) and ONLY enable them as you need them.
