DNS overload

Hi,

Server monitoring team is insisting that the server is overloaded with DNS queries, which I don't find any evidence when looking at the wireshark trace.

My understanding of this capture is that the server is getting an average of 250 requests per seconds with some occasional spikes to 600 - 700 requests per second, but nothing crazy that the server is not capable of processing.

this is a Windows 2022 server with 8 cpus and 32GB of ram, which is capable of resolving way over 50k of requests per second.

Posting here to validate my I/O Grap and make sure I didn't mess up the scale.

Thank you
