I seriously doubt that this is a LEAF (really djbdns) problem.
A more systematic diagnosis including:
- the configuration of dnscache and, if applicable,
tinydns on the LEAF router,
- tcpdump packet dumps with and without the RR name
server in the Win2k DNS list,
- the output of "ipconfig /all" on the Win2k box with
and without the RR name server in the list, and
- test results from nslookup on Win2k in addition to
(or rather than) browser observations (where there
are more variables to consider, e.g. proxy settings)
would probably reveal the root cause and I suspect the djbdns
utilities are not at fault. I run Win2k under VMWare on a
Debian machine and it uses dnscache for name service. I have
not noticed any name resolution delays or problems.
