STRANGE CONNECTION

Hi, Please can anyone offer an explanation as to why my latest version CIS (file path programs/Comodo etc… cfp3.exe) should be making multiple attempts to connect to GNAXNET (Global Net Access, LLC) at address 72.9.241.58 using UDP Port 53? It actually blocked itself because I have a DNS rule in place preventing access to port 53 except to my own ISP’s servers. Any information as to why or if this connection is really needed would be appreciated and if so will add another rule to allow. Many thanks.
