No, it's not cron (perdiodic daily/security) related. It appears 
sometime between 7 and 11 am (CEST). That would be too easy. 
Probably it's too early to see similarities as it's just on two days 
in a row.

Tomorrow I'll have a hub at that location and can watch traffic 
using a 2nd bsd machine. Let's see, if that leads to any strange 
traffic.
