We've installed a Struts based portal on our test system(Solaris box). When we test inside the network everything works fine. But if we log in from outside the network via Netscreen(there is an IP address translation that happens), the first login page takes over 5 minutes to appear. But once the login process is complete, all clicks from there on works just fine. Another portal(that doesn't use Struts) has no such problems. Here's some details: Servlet Engine: Tomcat (from within JBOSS) Web Server (installed on an external web server) : Apache The mod_jk.conf file on the external web server: <IfModule mod_jk.c> JkWorkersFile /opt/tomcat/conf/workers.properties JkLogFile logs/jk.log JkLogLevel warn JkMount /*.jsp ajp13 JkMount /servlet/* ajp13 JkMount /adminportal/* ajp13 </IfModule> The URL : http:// <http://%3cexternal/> <external IP Addres>/adminportal/Welcome.do Appreciate any help we can get on this problem.
