No.  You should never change a rule to remove 'lots of alerts' until you are
certain that it is a false positive.

Have a look at the packet payload and see what's up.  Use something like:

        snort -dvr 0915 () 1013-snort log host 192.168.7.200

That should decode all packets to/from that host to your screen.  If the
packet has all normal signs of DNS, then it might be a misconfigured host on
your internal net.  If it doesn't have those signs, then you might want to
examine that your local host a bit more closely.
