Probably DNS look ups.

Look in diald.conf for the line:

        accept tcp 180 tcp.dest=tcp.www

The 180 (or whatever it is) is the number of seconds that traffic
to a www port (80) will keep the link up. I like to use 300 (5 mins).
This line *must* be before the:

        keepup tcp 5 !tcp.live
        ignore tcp !tcp.live

otherwise the timer will be discarded as soon as the www connection
closes. Connection not session...
