Linux Kernel 3.4.111 with glibc 2.22, 32bit, not virtualized. No distribution -
everything was compiled by hand.

Assuming that bind would report dropped queries, I guess it is the latter.
Regarding the suggestion made by Tony Finch about too many TCP connections
in the TIME_WAIT status: That would have been a good explanation. But I do not
see more than 200 TCP connections in TIME_WAIT status when the problem occurs
and not more than 5000 TCP/UDP connections with port 53.
