I'm using zonealarm firewall software to protect my cable internet connection. Recently I noticed it has been blocking connections resolving to DNSes such as dialup.bluewin.ch, which I thought was a little strange...is this anything to worry about?

It is best to set ZA to hide the notifications as what you will see will only cause uneeded panic and paranoia. Alerts and Logs and set it to "off" Your computer will meet many computers, servers and god knows what on it way around the internet. All of it is harmless. Most of the time you will "Pinged" to see if you are connected to the internet by your ISP and a server probably in Korea seeing of the connection between you and it is still present. It is all harmless... If click here > http://new.theanswerbank.co.uk/ then quickly close your IE browser, you'll see ZA block the response from AB. All that your seeing in the logs is just innocent stuff... ZA is doing it's job and protecting you. Do not worry about dialup.bluewin.ch
