Is what I'm seeing simply the normal behavior of the program/service?
<snip> I think you're probably right there. me@computer ~ $ host 66.151.158.177 177.158.151.66.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer poll.gotomypc.com. me@computer ~ $ host 216.115.217.254 254.217.115.216.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 216-115-217-254.expertcity.com. expertcity appears to be a parent/sibbling of GoToMyPc. (anyone else know for sure? I'm not real familiar with either organization.) What doesn't show in your log is how far apart these 'pings' are taking place?
