Hi Cristian, I had to look up nss-resolve and indeed both LLMNR and system-resolved are mentioned in the description. In my test VM, `apt-cache policy` is showing that libnss-resolve package is installed.
I removed it using `apt purge libnss-resolve` and checked journalctl logs again while re-running the python script and I continue to see outbound connections on port 5355 are being logging. I restarted the VM (to ensure the plugin was no longer loaded) and re-ran the nftables rule and python script but I continue to see the outbound connections with each invocation of gethostbyaddr. Let me know what else I can investigate, this is new territory for me.

I cannot reproduce your issue.. are you using the nss module "resolve" peraphs ?
