Step one, find a device on your netowrk seeing the traffic
step two, follow the stream(s) of traffic back to its ingress
(hopefully a customer link on your network)
step three, watch for associated traffic to the source of the dns
queries, correlate this with other sources on your network to
find/identify the control point for this effort.
