My problem or the forum...

I can do packet traces and see the dns requests hitting these local servers. Even if this wasn't the case, our service is from a "tier 1" provider...it just don't get any faster (in general terms anyway).

Now, I'm not an expert on webservers or coding html, but it seems to me that there is some directive somewhere telling browsers/proxies to "not cache" the info from the ad sites, causing it to be reloaded with every page load.

My DNS server was from Cox and they had issues. It worked for me your mileage may vary.
The cache can also hold negative entries, sites which may have been down you can try ipconfig /flushdns to clean out the cache.
It is Mardi Gras and I have a parade to go to.

Good Luck

I could not load a page on the air forums at all today it would start and stop.
I accidentally found a problem causer an accelerator like Proxyconn or any other.
I don't know why it should matter but it does I disabled it and the page loads. Go figure try it if you have an accelerator temporarily disable it see it it helps.
