Those aren't "invalid DNS queries", they are queries that return an
NXDOMAIN response.  Quite different and completely legal (and required)
to have DNS work correctly.

Are these queries coming from inside your network?  If so, find the
machines that are generating them (assuming they are actually in massive
numbers) and fix the problem.

If they are coming from outside your network, create ACLs that restrict
queries to only your clients and ... voila, problem solved.
