Heavy network traffic occurs during an LDAP query by the DNS server in Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
In this scenario, heavy network traffic may be observed from the DNS server to the domain naming master server because of a large number of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) queries. Additionally, you may find that the LDAP query is actually for the DNS Settings object that contains the msDNS-KeymasterZones attribute.

Cause
