constant look up of AAAA records

I'm running my own DNS server (Bind9) on my network and have just noticed that my desktop machine is flooding my DNS server with requests for A and AAAA records for the domain, like this:

12:15:25.668230 IP 192.168.0.2.46036 > 192.168.0.8.53: 8810+ A? =.domain.int. (29)
12:15:25.668235 IP 192.168.0.2.46036 > 192.168.0.8.53: 43108+ AAAA? =.domain.int. (29)
12:15:25.668350 IP 192.168.0.8.53 > 192.168.0.2.46036: 8810 NXDomain* 0/1/0 (114)
12:15:25.668395 IP 192.168.0.8.53 > 192.168.0.2.46036: 43108 NXDomain* 0/1/0 (114)

I think the DNS entries are setup correctly, if I do a dig domain.int then I get a correct answer back and named-checkzone is happy with the domain config file.

What would be causing this and what could I change to stop it? The constant traffic, while isn't actually a problem, is something I'd like to get rid of.
