Can you tell from the dnscache logs if the client is even attempting the
lookup?  If it isn't, then no amount of coercing by dnscache will force
it to do so.  If it is, then you'll most likely need packet traces before
coming back to the list if no-one else on the list has encountered the
problem before (although if the client is discarding answers it's getting
while running the service, and using them when it isn't, it's still
sounding like borkedness on the client).  FWIW, I have XP clients here
with the dns client service running behind dnscache, with no issue.
