Sophos XG bombarding my pihole with google domain queries

Hi,

my question relates to this older discussion, which left the problem unsolved:

https://community.sophos.com/sophos-xg-firewall/f/discussions/123391/constant-dns-lookups-for-google-domains

* I have directed the sophos xg to use my pihole as dns resolver, therefore I can see every DNS query the SophosXG makes

* Sophos XG clutters pihole with repeating DNS requests for all international google domains

* Sophos XG manages to take 70% of all DNS queries by itsself with those queries (whilst every internal devices uses pihole exclusively, so SophosXG does not even relay queries)

* I have two internal interfaces defined, one "LAN" with the Sophos as 200.200.200.1, one with 192.168.179.1 (DMZ Zone)

* Only the interface with the ip 192.168.179.1 shows up in the logs, why not the "LAN" interface, maybe that's a clue

* Deleting all FQDN host groups as suggested by the previous thread did not help

* Tried using differetn rule sets for the two zones, adding or removing webfiltering, IPS and app blocking - did not influence the queries at all

Any ideas? My Pihole even becomes slighty sluggish trying to handle the steady DNS fire from SophosXG
