The ping statistics look like this: ---- SXPDC PING Statistics---- 308 packets transmitted, 308 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 0/0/0 Not too slow I suppose ;-) I can't use nslookup as I had to declare the Windows servers in /etc/hosts > >The other thing is you have configurated > >> PerlSetVar defaultdomain eeu >> PerlSetVar fallbackdomain eeu > >but no definition for domain eeu, you shoudl add something like I have definitions for the necessary resource domains as well as the Master Account Domains involved in the configuration file. I only stripped them in the example. I just tried to reproduce those very slow connections but it's like always: When you want it to happen, it doesn't (Does anyone know a good English word for "Vorführeffekt"?). As soon as I can reproduce it I'll extract the relevant part of the err_log file and post it. Another problem I experience since the switch to Apache::AuthenNTLM is with POST-Forms. Some of them simply don't pass their parameters to the mod_perl-Script. Except when I restart the webserver before submitting the form. Any ideas on this?
