Sophos XG making a significant amount of DNS queries to www.google.com.*

shred

I recently added Pi-hole as the DNS server for Sophos XG itself, and I’ve noticed in my Pi-hole logs that Sophos XG is making a significant amount of DNS queries to various google.x addresses, such as google.de, google.com.pr, google.to, google.com.af, etc. The most significant is google.com.tz where I’m seeing about 55k queries in the past 5 hours. Any ideas what’s causing this?

    Hi . Thank you for reaching out to Sophos community team. Based on the issue description I am suspecting the FQDN host has been present or already configured on XG for the above domains and if that is the case then XG self  DNS lookup generating those queries.
