DNS failing today

SalishSwede
My systems have largely ground to a halt due to DNS problems that began sometime in the last 12 hrs.

This is what I'm seeing in the logs.

Any ideas?

    As I'm just a 'home' operation, I don't bother with internal DNS servers.
    I just use Astaro box's forwarding from the ISP's servers (with Google added for redundancy).

    Obviously, I didn't understand the alerts above.  I assumed an "error" resulted in a fault.  Your suggesting DNS should have been resolving with these errors?

    Things look uneventful in the logs across the board: double-checked IPS and firewall.
