It could be a problem of your pppd config. or even,and more probably,
a router filter config. where the DNS or NetBios queries are not
blocked,so box 2 ask for DNS and router trigger the call to ISP.
This has been a problem I had with Zyxel Prestige Router series
and you can stop by using Zyxel internal filtering rules.
