Brad,
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.

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.

 - the output of "ipconfig /all" on the Win2k box with
   and without the RR name server in the list, and

C:\>ipconfig /all (without secondary DNS)

 - 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)
