Can you check your logs and look at the user agent for what's making the 
connections?  Could it just be a search engine crawler indexing your pages? 
 You can control access, usually, via a robots.txt exclusion file.

If it's someone else mirroring your site for some reason, some programs that 
do this will obey robots.txt settings.

If it's happening a lot and degrading the performance of your web server, 
then it may be a DOS (denial of service) attack.

By the basic description you gave, it doesn't sound like an attack.
