DNS suffix wpad.hsd1.ga.comcast.net

Question

While researching some wpad.dat errors I was receiving on a home webserver, I ran across Wireshark captures including wpad.hsd1.ga.comcast.net.  Around every 10 mins or so, I'd get two standard DNS queries for this address, followed by two No Such Name query responses.  Is this normal for an Xfinity home network?
