Your problem is most likely sendmail. It will always issue a request
when
booting and if you have the standard "sendmail -bd -q30m"
set in /etc/rc.conf it will cause dial up every 30 minutes. You could
change
the command to "sendmail -bd" to stop the 30 minute dialing, but it will
still dial
I guess the problem is that some utility attempts do use DNS
quite early, like sendmail(1). Most probably,
you messed up your /etc/hosts file, if not - you
may use "DontProbeInterfaces" sendmail option.

It's an issue with the new version of Bind - 8.2.2 seems to ping the
network on startup, whereas the previous version did not. I haven't
found a way around this behaviour but that doesn't mean there isn't
one. I noticed this behaviour when I was an early 8.2 adapter via the
ports.
