Too many DNS request to 8.8.8.8

I am running ELK 6.2.3 and with ingest geoip plugin my ELK is sending over 500 DNS requests to 8.8.8.8 per minute this is generating too many log files. If i drop packet on the server itself no data in ingested in to the index. Any idea why would the ingest geoip make so many dns requests to 8.8.8.8?
