Is it cache hits that are too many - that sounds unlikely.  Or is it entries with very low ttl that you are caching longer in the browser to avoid lookups?

It's not just the OS cache. A good number of home routers do not implement recursive caching at all, forwarding all queries to an ISP recursive server. Those recursive servers will now see twice the load as before.
