No. That would be true if queries were sent over TCP. UDP does not work like TCP. With normal queries, when the message comes in, the connection closes. Some time later (hopefully not much later), a new message goes out to return an answer to the client. The only time you'll see an open connection like this with netstat is when named has not yet fully read the query message from the network receive queue.
