all,

this technically isn't a cisco question, but i've been a long-time reader and
this is a puzzle eluding solution thus far so i thought i would try.  i also
find it somewhat intriguing.

we're connected to our upstream provider via a t-1 (we're a software house).
per mrtg we use around 400kbps inbound and half that outbound.  the external
router runs at very low cpu utilization (

and here the unsuccessful one:

notice the successful one does a dns lookup and the unsuccessful one a nbns.
curious.  here is how the workstation is presently config'd:
