Very cool! A quick thought: if you don't want the server to have any information about which lookups come from the same source, pick the intervals between lookups from an exponential distribution, which is memoryless. (Geometric distribution if you consider time to be discrete.)
The downside is that those distributions have quite long tails, so sometimes there will be long intervals between lookups for a given key.
