In researching this.... it looks like the servers that lag 5 minutes were failing to do a reverse lookup for the ftp connection because of a bad DNS setting with ATT (they had a typo). This turned out to be the problem. Thanks!

Other hosts work perfectly fast every single time. I've got two particular hosts that I work with all the time. A Sun OS box with one ISP that works perfect. The second is a Linux box with a different ISP that is slow. Traceroutes to both ISPs actually show a closer and faster connection to the linux box. My gateway is a Debian 2.2 masq'd firewall (kernel 2.2.14). >From my PC behind the masq, my pc will timeout going to the ISP with the linux box. If I go to the linux box from a unix machine behind the masq, it will say it connected to the ISP but it will wait about 5 minutes before it prompts for a username. Once I'm connected, transfers are as fast as they should be. When I access both of these ISPs from home (DSL) I can connect immediately without any hesitation from either of them. I can ssh to both ISPs without this 5 min delay. It is specific to FTP. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? -- -=-=-=-=-=- Chris Wood Kitco, Inc. 801-489-2097 Wencor West, Inc.
