Adguard home constantly queries . (alien.top)

Hi all

I have been hosting adguard home on a local raspberry pi for a few years now. A few moths ago I changed everything around as I wanted to host more on that pi and moved to a docker setup.

Everything works, but I see that I have about 70k dns queries in 24 hours. and about 90 percent of that is just a query for "." from an IP which I guess is my raspberry pi's interal docker IP?

Anything I can do about that, or is that normal?
