I was going to point you to the reddit thread about it, but it looks to be your thread :)

Subject: Excessive Netflix DNS Traffic?

Hi all,

Is anyone seeing excessive DNS traffic from game consoles (Xbox One, PS4)
running Netflix? Starting 9/29 we have been seeing significant volume of
DNS traffic from game consoles on our campus to our caching recursive
boxes. Logs show repeated requests for api-global.netflix.com and
nrdp.nccp.netflix.com.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Eamon
