UPDATE: Slow server response (Will summarize)

Thanks for those who replied so far. But, I have checked DNS and that is
not the issue. The machine I telnet from is a known machine on the local
network. When the load is at 30 or less the response is instant.
Plus I did some various reverse/forward lookups to make sure.

Thanks again
Scott
