10,000s of daily requests to "forum/login/keep-alive"

I am getting these every 1-2 seconds. I've never seen this before so am wondering if anyone knows what this might be. The IP in the logs is different for each request. It is skewing my webstats by saying /forum/login/keep-alive in getting 100,000s of visits. Any ideas? Thanks!
