Millions of requests from client looking itself up - Increases while using Pihole UI

[NameHere]

I am running Pihole on a RPi 3b+.

The client in question is my home server running Windows 10. It runs a handful of services via Docker.

The server is named "bbox"

On Pihole Local DNS, I created an entry where

b.box -> my server's IP address.

Expected Behaviour:

bbox doesn't look itself up thousands of times a minute.
Viewing the pihole admin portal doesn't double this already massive number.

Actual Behaviour:

An A type query happens several times a second from b.box to the domain "b.box"
The number of queries seems to increase when using the admin portal or using a service like heimdall (app launcher)

Pi-hole is only processing queries as received - it is your b.box client at 192.168.0.182 that is creating those requests.

You'd have to control this behaviour at the source, i.e. look for the software package on the b.box Windows server that is excessively requesting resolution of b.box.

Another option if you can't narrow down the source of the queries.

Map the domain name to an IP in the hosts file on the PC. The requests won't leave the PC, and you won't see them in your Pi-hole.
