There are many reasons why devices connected to the network (that includes the router!) will make DNS requests (which is what openDNS registers), even when they are not being used. Programs and operating system checking for updates, for instance. > Additionally, here is an except from my router log.

I'd wait for someone with more experience with routers and router logs to be absolutely certain, but as I read it, it merely means someone on the Internet tried to connect to your network, probing for some kind of vulnerability. That may sound scary, but that happens a lot if you're connected to the Internet. What matters here (and this is what I'd like to have confirmed by someone else) is that the attempts were unsuccessful. Ah, Gordon has now confirmed this. :-) Good point about the open resolver.
