Oops, sorry - I too am quick on the Send button. Don't know much about the technical aspects of diald, but the first thing to nail is your clients as they are probably the largest source of DNS lookups, especially for 'workgroup'
Any time server requests kicking about as well ? Some AV programs - notably, I think, Norton AV is very bad. On a network I run they decided to install Norton AV, and it seemed to think that if you are on a network with Internet access you must have a permanent connection and promptly the scheduler checks for updates every 5 or 10 minutes. Chaos when you have 10 machines.......... HTH.
