No, I don't think we changed anything in that area recently. The drops
counter is the number of queries sent to a backend and for which we did
not get a response fast enough (or at all).
You should be able to use the inspection features of dnsdist to figure
out what is causing these drops, like grepq("3000ms") or topSlow().
