That sounds like a plausible candidate for what's the ultimate cause
of this. However, as I'm sure you really meant, the log messages
you're seeing are the result of some software deliberately trying to
update the DNS, not that your DNS server was somehow arbitrarily
picking up on other traffic on your network.
