Not sure if this is going to be of _any_ assistance whatsoever, but anyway...
I've seen a situation where someone was using the java.net.URL package to
open a connection and request a page where the connection was opened but it
appears the buffer wasn't being flushed, and the request hence wasn't being
transmitted to the destination, hence the appearance of hanging. Have you
tried sniffing the traffic between the calling servlet and its target?
Again, not sure if this will help, but a suggestion nonetheless.
cheers
