Weird DNS behavior when connecting NAS and/or using data collection via InfluxDB

Hi,
today I randomly came across the fact, that the proxmox host issues quite a lot DNS queries.
More precisely:
Over 24h I can see 51.820 queries regarding my InfluxDB hostname --> once every 1.7 seconds
Over 24h I can see 17.280 queries regarding my QNAP NAS hostname (used for ISOs and Backups) --> once every 5 seconds

That feels like a lot (also compared to other hosts in my network that write data to InfluxDB via Telegraf) ...
Can someone confirm this behavior in their setup? Is something wrong with my installation or is this considered to be normal?

Thanks
