This sounds like an DNS issue.  One of the things that the Netscape plugin does is try to resolve the remote host name (jk_nsapi_plugin.c line 405).  This forces a DNS lookup which is notorious for having problems on NetWare.  There are a couple of ways around it.
 
1.  Make sure that the file sys:\etc\resolv.cfg exists and contains correct information for the domain the server is in.  This is where DNS will go to try and resolve addresses to names.
 
2. If feasable, and the above isn't working, add all the address to name mappings to sys:\etc\hosts.  This is the first place that DNS looks to try and resolve an address. 
 
3.  Install DNS/DHCP on the server and configure it as your DNS server.  I have't done this so I'm not sure of all that is involved here.
 
If you update any of the files, you will need to restart the NetWare server to have it recognize the changes.
 
Hope this helps.

Slow performance in redirection for netscape

Description:
Hi.
The omcat is fast on netware so is even the webserver from novell.
But when using the redirection nsapi_rd.nlm it seems like it is poceesign th request fast and sends it to Tomcat.
But to recieve the answer is not working that great.
It takes extremly long time, so there must be something in the pass module nsapi_rd.nlm
