Packets is not that useful a measure of figuring out where DNS traffic
originates. Have you enabled query logging to see what is causing all
the traffic?
I cleaned up a shell script I wrote to make a simple query analysis
and put it up on <http://zer0.org/bsd/>. Perhaps this would be of
assistance in finding the source of your DNS traffic.
