Why does Google try and access my DNS?

Remuflon
I have been using Google for my final DNS Forwarder.  This works fine.

However, in my firewall logs I see Google constantly trying to access my network on upd 53.  In fact, at least once a day, Sophos announces that I'm being port-scanned from 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

Why is Google doing that?  Should I be allowing their connection to my internal DNS?

My domain DNS records are hosted by Godaddy, btw.

    Can you show such a log line from the full firewall log (not the live log)?
