There's an article in the U2 knowledgebase on this which may help:

Subject: RE: [U2] Active Directory and UniVerse

Hi Brian,

Could it be DNS configuration rather than Active Directory?

Telnet does a reverse-DNS lookup when it initiates a session, and if
there's no response from DNS, telnet waits about 50 seconds before it
times out, connects, and displays the login prompt.

After the user gets the login prompt, everything works normally.

For some reason, this 50-second delay drives users nuts.

We've run into this two different ways:
1) DNS server was hung.
2) The block of IP addresses wasn't entered into the reverse-lookup
table on the DNS server.

Hope this helps,
Tom Derwin

Thanks for the info.

It seems to be down to the fact that this is a child domain in the AD
tree.
The telnet service is authenticating to the root server not to the local
domain controller: on both sites the root servers are not local
(situated on
different continents) and the service is enumerating each individual
group
membership from the PDC (each with a separate RPC call). Which is of
course
horribly slow.
