Sounds like a classic DNS time-out and roll-over to the next nameserver. 
Are you using FQDNs or IPs?

What happens when you ping the FQDN.

Hey guys & gals. We're using tomcat 4.1.12 on Windows connecting to an 
oracle database on another machine. We've got our app setup in the 
webapps directory, and everything works fine on our development boxes & 
our QA box  (mix of OS X, wintel, and Sun) . However, at the client 
site running on a Dell dual processor w/Windows 2000, the application 
takes about 18 minutes to start. Once it gets going, it's fine, but it 
takes far too long to start up.

In the web.xml file, there is one servlet that uses the load-on-startup 
parameter with a value of 0. However, the hang happens before that 
servlet is initialized. I know that because I put some print statements 
in the init() function, and those lines do not show up in the log until 
after the 18 minutes of startup. Once the first one prints, the rest 
print as quickly as you would expect.

If we remove our application from the webapps directory, tomcat starts 
up quickly, just as it normally does.

Just to restate, this is only happening on one box. Unfortunately, it's 
the box at the client site. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks
--Michael
