Hi Ronald,

I think we do have such a firewall. I will find out
the exact configuration and get back to you.

Do you have a firewall which does DNS lookups?

Thanks Ronald,

I've got enableLookups="false" in the server.xml file
and Wireshark shows no signs of DNS lookups.
Also, all of the Webstart stuff (downloading jars etc)
is pretty responsive.

So I don't think that is the problem ... but is there any way
that Tomcat would do reverse DNS lookups if
I've got enableLookups=false"?
