Actiontec suddenly logging DNS requests to syslog

Anyone else notice a recent change in logging on their ActionTec? (Router: Firmware MI424WR-GEN3I / 40.20.7) I've had FIOS since 2006 and have routinely logged the router messages to a syslog daemon. Over those years I have gone through about 5 ActionTec routers; the current one in service since January. Although I don't dig through the logs often I do archive them (digital pack-rat) and have nearly 7 years of data. Yesterday the router suddenly started logging what appear to be DNS requests from all the devices connected to it. In just 36 hours I have captured 19,844 requests.

Might be useful but also kind of creepy…
