All of our public IPs are reverse mapped. The initial connection to the site is fast. The delay happens when data starts comming back. A way to visualize this problem is using a browser. You hit "Go" and the target site immediately returns text, but like a low-bandwidth or overloaded site, graphics trickle back. This problem is not limited to a single site ... it's all of them. And isn't limited to a single router, I have two different production evironments setup with different loadbalancer/firewall combos. What they both have in common is the RedHat router doing simple forwarding. One in each environments. -Ken >> Any suggestions on where to go with this? >If I have a tcp delay, I always check the dns config.
