Just a followup:

I am about to give up.  I get no DNS events on the server's logs to help me
figure this out.

I did the following:
1) I closed the DNS port in the firewall router, and disabled any DNS IPs
set in the firewall router
2) I removed all DNS forwarders on the server.
3) The 2k3 server's DNS server is itself. It listens on any ip address for
DNS queries.
4) All clients have the 2k3 server as their DNS server.

Now this should make the server a standalone DNS provider for our network,
right?  If this is the case, what can cause these hiccups where we have to
refresh our browsers?
