a) What type of application is it? b) Can you get a dump file of the w3wp.exe process when the problem is occuring? c) If you like, you can work through stuff like this: http://www.adopenstatic.com/cs/blogs/ken/archive/2009/06/30/24910.aspx to figure out what is going on.

Performance issue on website response. Server literally takes 20-30 seconds to response to request sent by the firewall before firewall forwards response to user on the Interwebs. Mucho time spent with wireshark analyzing packet traces to show that the firewall is receiving the request from the WAN and promptly forwards http request to internal web server. Web server response takes forever to respond, troubleshooting now but wanted to throw this out to the collective… TIA, Shook ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
