Assuming that all of the queries contain the string "fsf.crayumm.com",
then on a 4.6 Shorewall version (such as found in Debian testing), you
can use a rule such as this one:

   IPTABLES(DROP) net xxx udp 53 ; -m string --string "fsf.crayumm.com"

where xxx is the zone where your DNS server is running.
