Strange DNS traffic from RE450v1 range extender

Greetings,

I have an RE450v1 range extender, and I just noticed that it keeps making DNS requests to a.root-servers.net. I log about 10 queries a minute.

I've tried enabling the DHCP server in the RE450 so I could explicitly set DNS server, but the stream of requests to a.root-servers.net continues.

Any idea what's going on here?

Thanks!
