Hi Dmg,
Event ID 5504 is a normal condition and no further action is required.
Event ID 5504 DNS Server Message Processing:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee783577%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
DNS server could be configured to use root hint if there is no forwarder.
Open DNS console, right click on DNS server and click Properties. Choose Forwarders tab and we would see the check box.
Here is the reference for DNS:

Hi Dmg,
We could check the events of the DNS server service. The error message could help us to analyze the problem.
When you receieved the error, was the service stopped? We could check the status in Services console.
Besides, what's the language of your system?
Best Regards,
