Here is what I can provide. I do not doubt you that Leaf may not be the culprit.
I have removed the secondary DNS IP from the TCP config and run several of the
tests you suggested. I noticed however that once I removed the IP I no longer am
experiencing the lag. It has only been a few hours so it may not be gone for good
but time will tell. All I do know is that my Win 98 systems have never experienced
the lag. I have never seen the lag in Win2K on any other network but mine.
See below for data.

<Snip> 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,
tinydns is not used. dnscache is in the default Bering Rc4 config.
- tcpdump packet dumps with and without the RR name server in the Win2k DNS list,
Tcpdump is not currently at my disposal.
