Hi Tony,
Nope, my server is not an open resolver, but a lot of clients are using it :) - Actually one of my customers had a broken netgear device that was making 1000 qps for time-g.netgear.com. Probably some kind of software bug.
I can recommend dnstop to find "bad dns clients" - But dnstop also showed me I'm getting 5-7K qps, and not 700-800 as collectd showed me.
Do you think this is too much for a VM? - My VM is only loaded 50% on each core.

Is your server an open resolver being used as part of a DDoS attack?
Do you have compromised client machines running malware that hammers your server?
Find out where the queries are coming from using netflow or tcpdump or query logging.
Tony.
