Subject:   Services very slow on Firewall/nat boxes.

I am running natd on a FreeBSD box with IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT added to
the kernel. Firewall type is open.

I have noticed that when you run a server (eg. sendmail, named, pop3 etc.)
on the above, initial connection to the service is very slow (ie. between
5 and 60 seconds ), however once connection has been established data
transfer becomes very fast (as per normal).

If I disable natd and replace kernel with original, initial connection to
services is very fast.

This box is on a network with very little traffic.

I would greatly appreciate any help on speeding up initial connection to
services.


Regards, Brendan Kosowski
