AFAIK it's just PB sending a query to the Evenbalance server to see if there are any cvar problems or anything needing to be updated. I see it quite frequently playing PB-enabled servers, usually right after I join or whenever Punkbuster is first enabled.

regardless of it being off and on the masterserver (serverlist) still has to know what is connecting to it's servers. it's normal for punkbuster to go and check in with the masterserver even if it's off server-side. All it would be doing is telling punkbuster is off, punkbuster is out of date, etc, etc. Now to speculate, if you never installed PB i do not believe you would ever see any messages about PB, except for when you connect to a server that requires it telling you that you do not have it.

Now in regards to a client, i do not know what happens if the client has PB turned off. I would assume it would just completely be oblivious to PB messages (as long as the PB services are disabled) but I am not sure about that.
