10.48.0.19 is a WLAN Router with DNS Cache, WAN=> WLAN, LAN=>local 
network. Normally the Router should cache all queries coming from the 
LAN. I belive, the PC inside the LAN has a virus or trojan and floods 
the WRT router.
I have contacted the user and after disconnet the PC behind, everything 
is allright - crazy world.
