Correct. This bug was introduced in JDK 5.0.

I am not sure about this. It sounds like a DNS issue. Are you
connecting to the www server via Java? It may be that a brower is using
cached pages and when you connect in Java you have to do a DNS lookup.
I would probably start by looking at the DNS configuration of the
machine you are using and make sure any of those issues are resolved
first.

BTW, We implemented a work around for the slow connection bug in
Jaybird 2.0 beta 2. JDK5.0 should now connect quickly when using a raw
ip address.
