Thanks for the response. Here are the results of trying
your suggestions. I also have a case open with MS Support on this,
and will post any resolution.

DatabasePath = %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc

That file contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost

Speculating. Turns out my speculation may be incorrect.
Running windowsupdate after a reboot and monitoring network traffic
with Ethereal reveals the following exchange:

myhost -> A/D Server: DNS query for wpad.athens.int
Response: host not found
myhost -> 192.168.1.1: SYN
myhost -> 192.168.1.1: SYN
myhost -> 192.168.1.1: SYN
myhost -> 192.168.1.1: SYN
myhost -> fetch error page from microsoft.com

athens.int is our internal A/D domain name. We have no host named 'wpad'
and never have had. We also have NEVER had SUS or WUS anywhere in our
domain. I have no idea why it's looking for "wpad" within our domain,
or why it falls back to 192.168.1.1 when it can't resolve it.
