This popped up on my PG2 list... is this normal or rare?

As far as I can see, port TCP/4456 isn't used for any special service, nor is the remote port. I have no idea why you'd see that from anybody.
Haha, CIA. You're fucked!
I find it really weird how DoD (department of defense), Sygate (a db company), Savvis, and another place all decided to connect on UDP/41145 at the same time. I call broken program.
Actually, it looks like HE connected to everything except two of the Peak Web Hosting things.
I was thinking that too, but the ports seem to make more sense backwards. Could just be that I'm crazy, though. :)

Nope. That's why they made PG2. :P
What exactly does PG2 do?

I'm guessing it scans any network traffic and resolves the DNS and tells you who you're connected to.

I don't think it interfaces with DNS. It just checks the range that IP addresses fall under.

It doesn't send/receive packets to IP's on the block list.
For example, the other day I was trying to load a bot and wondered why it wasn't connecting -- PG2 was blocking Blizzard IP's.
Quote from: WikipediaAs of April 24, 2007 the default "Level 1" list stated as being to block anti-p2p organizations alone blocks 739,154,389 IP Addresses. As of January 2007 there are approximately 2,407,000,000 IP addresses allocated to the Internet. Therefore this list blocks an entire 30.5% of the Internet as supposed anti-P2P.
I doubt the usefulness of this program. :-\

Meh, it does it's best. It's better than nothing.
Actually, it's probably worse than nothing.
I don't know about those anti-P2P people, but when most people set up a honeypot or honeynet, they typically do it from IPs that aren't easily traceable to themselves.
So in other words, you're blocking 30% of the Internet, and likely missing the people you're trying to protect yourself from. So all it does is slow you down. So, like I said, it's probably worse than nothing.
