DNS server generates an enormous amount of traffic

[Michael Voight]

How do you know DNS is generating the traffic?
You need some type of packet debugging software, like snoop, or tcpdump,
to indentify what kind of traffic is causing the problem.

Are you saying that traffic is faster when you disable DNS?
