One thing that worked for me was to add an entry to the hosts file (assuming
you use that) which lists the sl0 interface that diald uses to detect traffic. 
In my case I used a local and remote pair in diald.conf ;

local 192.168.2.10 
remote192.168.2.20 

so I added the local address to the hosts file;

# bogus interface to keep named happy with diald
192.168.2.10    bogus.localdomain       bogus
        
Also, to host.conf I added;

# use hosts file before using nameserver lookups
order hosts bind

That stopped named from trying to call a nameserver for a lookup for that diald
address (reverse lookup?) and eliminated a lot of connect attempts (once every
15 minutes or so).  What I do not know (yet) is if this causes any other
problems.  It all appeared t owork OK. Perhaps someone can comment??
