Localhost querying google.internal addresses dozens of times a second
Hi there, Great project thanks! I've noticed when the pi-hole admin page is open in browser, there is a spike in localhost requests for the hostnames of the VM instance on google cloud.
See the hostnames in attached screenshot. Mostly "pi-hole.google.internal". The requests are being served by the cache, but come back as NXDOMAIN. The total queries starts to go up about a dozen request per second, with no other devices performing lookups.
When I close the browser admin page window , you can see the requests stop. [I'm using an iOS App called Pi-hole remote to see a live-log of requests as they come in]
Its like there's an element on the pi-hole admin page itself that is trying to resolve these addresses.
I've set this up fresh as per instructions. Is this known, or even a problem?
cheers
