This is a dummy summary as I'm not convinced the initial query + reposts
made it to the list for some other problem.
There is a bug in quota that results in the type of DNS requests
above, now noted by SunService, thanks to them for finding it.
Our workaround was to add the bad requests as CNAME entries to
DNS.
