Could there be an issue with MTU size?

Also has anyone witnessed a similar problem where a network is able to ping as well as lease an IP from a dchp server, but can not query the DNS service from the same server as the DHCP (no firewalling or ACLs in place) ?

So DNS does work on this box,
as it forward DNS replies to other boxes on my local network.

What should I do next? Any ideas?

Thanks.

try the dig command from one of the boxes that can't get dns, follow the packet with tcpdump

all you have shown above is that your router can get dns
