When I try to create an InitialContext for a server that is down, the timeout seems to take a very long time. I have some clients that never seem to time out. Is there a way to specify the timeout when trying to lookup a bean through the initial context? Here is a use case. Note that the timeout will occur right away if the host does not exist in DNS. However, if the host does exist (but there is no server running), the timeout takes a really long time, and sometimes just never happens. Thanks! Patrick
