You could always turn on query logging. That would log each query that is
being made and show you who is spiking your queries. If you are looking for
a monitoring tool, Raffy Marty wrote an interesting tool that can hook in to
DNS logs called Afterglow. It's been awhile since I've played with the tool,
but it would probably do what you are looking for.
http://afterglow.sourceforge.net/  Raffy is a good guy. I'm sure if you
needed any help setting it up he'd be more than happy to offer some
pointers.
