This is a known issue with Java 1.5 networking code, it tries to reverse look up the IP addresses in certain circumstances (which obviously occur in the JDBC driver) if you use IPs in your connection addresses. You're best off to make sure DNS is set up locally on your client machines for all the known servers you connect to. That would be in your /etc/hosts on linux, on other OSes I don't know. This will make sure you have no timeouts whether you use IPs or host names names, but you have to maintain it. Cheers, Csaba.
