Someone is asking your nameserver for the root nameservers'
nameservers.  They're doing something like

dnsqr ns .

or

host -t ns .

Do they all come from the same host?  They appear to in your excerpt.
Either that host has your tinydns server's IP in its /etc/resolv.conf,
or they're directly querying your tinydns server instead of a cache.

I don't see such queries in my tinydns logs.
