It does time out, but I do see the dns request being passed through my
firewall to the internet and I see the response come back.

No, I hadn't gotten that specific, but the thing is, I figure that I
wouldn't be able to get out anywhere if dns was always timing out.
Further, I see the dns request being passed through the firewall to the
internet and I see the response coming back with a 'no name' error.
I'm thinking of taking the windows solution and rebooting that box to
see what might happen...
