I know I shouldn't have to, but for some reason I did with this router.  I unplugged the Cable modem all day long once, and then plugged it back in when I got home and I still saw the 10-20 second DNS lookups ... 'spoofing' the MAC address solved everything.

Maybe it's something specific to this router, I dunno ...
