Win2k forgets Nameserver?

I'm guessing this is a Win2k problem and totally OT for this list, but
seeing as I'm running Bind 8.2.3-REL on a FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE platform (yes,
yes, I know, upgrade now on both counts) I figured someone here might have
an idea.  Bind is configured with ISC-dhcpd V3.0b1pl13, handing out IPs in
the 10.1. network and entering DNS information on a host-request basis to
forward & rev zones.

My Win2k workstations periodically "forget" how to resolve names.
Literally, one minute I'll be able to SSH/ping/telnet to internal hosts, and
the next minute host lookup will fail.  If I subsequently run ipconfig
/registerdns everything works fine for a while longer.

95% of my Win2k users are experiencing this problem.  Anyone seen this
before?
