Thank you for the link. Let me answer your questions by outlining the scenario:
I have a RHEL server running WebSphere Application Server (WAS). Accessing a self test web site on this server fires of some kind of a connection to a Microsoft based WAS-server to check the response time. The problem is that loading this self test site takes quite long (around 9 seconds), which is the amount of time reported as the MS WAS server response time. Lets call this case A. Reloading/reaccessing the self test site within the next five minutes or so uses a normal amount of time. So it seems as if there are some kind of lookup going on when accessing the page, but this lookup times out after the five minutes. Lets call this case B. The hang in case A is there wheter I've got samba running or not (/etc/init.d/smb). When using tcpdump on case A I see that a few netbios-ns packages is sent between the two servers. No netbios-ns packages are sent in case B. This leads me to think that maybe there are some kind of name server lookup going on, which is cached for around 5 minutes. Could anyone comment on this assumption? Moreover, what does these netbios-ns packages do anyway - I don't belive that samba is involved in this?
