DNS resolves quickly. Its the server response that's lagging. Jazz identified a firewall problem at the host site, which would explain it. Odd that the problem varies based on tod though.

Going back and forth with the server host. It's looking like the problem might be, um, me.

Well, me + overly restrictive firewall rules. Looks like they put a firewall block on after more than 20 requests from the same IP address in a block of time (4 minutes or so). Which seems overly restrictive if you ask me. I have email accounts to get mail from those servers, plus I'm monitoring the board a lot, so apparently I trigger the firewall block regularly. The block stays on for 1 hour.

What I'm trying to find out now is if they block just my IP or my subnet/block of IP address. If the latter, it would explain why other people in the same geographical area with the same ISP are having problems. Fatih in particular is screwed - he's in Germantown on FIOS .

Good news is I think we have a handle on what's going on. Next step is to fix it.

Excellent! I know hit refresh on Dorki, especially at work, way to often so I'm sure that's also my problem

Well of course the domain admin would be an obvious candidate to start a DOS attack, so they MUST have rules to defend against you, right?

Jazz, if you ever need to look inside the server joep is your man. He's in the backdoor and out before you know its happened.
