This is a bit redonkulous. I just setup a new box using the utopic 14.10
amd64 desktop dvd image. I upgraded it from utopic to devel, which
points to vivid 15.04 currently.
I didn't notice this traffic before on my LAN's DNS cache because
normally I would configure the static IP info from
/etc/networking/interfaces, but this time I decided to do it from within
the Unity GUI with NetworkManager. Then I started seeing lots of queries
for daisy on my DNS cache server.
IPv4 through NAT works, as does IPv6 using Hurricane Electric's
TunnelBroker. I have blanked out any identifying IP info from the output
below.

Title:
Constant dns traffic for daisy.ubuntu.com
Status in Ubuntu error tracker client (whoopsie):
Confirmed
Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in “whoopsie” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Watching GNetworkMonitor's network-changed signal causes constant DNS
traffic.
Andy Whitcroft points out that the NETLINK_ROUTE socket set up by
GNetworkMonitor will fire events every time an ARP entry appears or
disappears.
Unfortunately, we currently need an additional layer of connectivity
checking because checking NetworkManager's state for CONNECTED_GLOBAL
is not enough to know whether we're really online. Ubuntu does not yet
use the NetworkManager connectivity check [1].
The likely solution to this bug is a replacement for GNetworkMonitor
in whoopsie.

Original report follows:
Every few seconds, I see a dns query for daisy.ubuntu.com. After
removing whoopsie, the traffic goes away.
