The situation is that from an html page on one web server, it makes a call
to a cgi/ Perl script on another web server on the same network.  (i.e. web
server 192.168.1.73 (with an external IP of 216.90.250.35) makes a call to
another web server 192.168.1.2 (with an external address of 216.90.251.28)
which actually runs the Perl script)

When both servers were on the external network, there were no problems
whatsoever. As soon as I moved both servers onto the PSN, the problems
started occurring.

I'm not a html, cgi, Perl, of any other type of programmer so I have no idea
what else to try to do.

Any suggestions?

Steve, your problem statement isn't clear. Exactly what do you mean about
one web server accessing another server?  NFS file sharing? Client
redirects? Server A acting as an HTTP client to Server B?  To solve your
problem you need to analyze the network connections required to perform
the function and once that is understood, look for breakage or perhaps
then you'll have enough information so that we can help you.
