I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish. Usually, a DNS query is
followed by an outbound connection to the returned IP address. Your ISP
can always monitor these connections from your exit node, no matter what
additional "query noise" you might introduce.

This is not fiction. One of my ISPs sends me automated tickets every
once in a while, about network scans that abuse my exit nodes. Not only
are connections recorded, they are analysed for patterns.
