Matt,
Sounds like you have a DNS problem somewhere. Check the clients for their
primary DNS server and make sure that is working.
Could perhaps be reverse lookups on the clients are failing. Do you have
HostNameLookups turned on in Apache?
If it is not DNS, are the clients hitting some CGI the first time they
access the site? Could be that is the problem, it is taking that long to
do what it needs.
HTH,
