It *IS* definitely a DNS request. Tracking it down to the requestor will be
some hard work.
This is RESOLVER telling you it was unable to contact the designated DNS with
the defined time period.
As other have stated, there are some knobs that can be turned to reduce the
frequency of this message.
This is not an indication of a z/OS problem. z/OS is reacting to the DNS not
responding in a timely manner.

The messages are issued by the resolver address space.
Is there a way to find out what is causing these messages?
It looks like some kind of DNS query.
