[LUNI] PHP Pause, Any Gurus out there

[jason1 at thelameserver.2y.net]

   I'm using PHP script that I picked up off the net that takes the input 
from a form and sends it via email to a specified address. After the 
submission the page redirects you to another page. It worked great for a 
while but now there seems to be an exactly 80 second pause between the time 
you hit submit and the redirection. 

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Actually, I've started having simular problems with several things (including 
the PHP thing) all about the same time that I think may be related to the IP 
Masquerading that I run on one of my machines. I use telnet (I know I know 
but it's internal only) to control several headless machines I have on my 
internal network at home. One day I tried to connect to the machine that's 
masqurading from a recently installed Win98 machine and had to wait forever 
for a login prompt. Tried to do it from my Mac....same thing. Both machines 
are masqueraded by the Linux box. Changed the IP on the Mac to an 
unmasqueraded one. Login prompt popped up immediately and has worked fine 
ever since. 

Also when I try to hit web pages on the masquerading box from the Win98 box 
it takes forever to get a response from Apache yet the Mac hitting the same 
page works fine with either an external IP or an internal one.

I know this isn't all the information that's needed to resolve this, but I 
have no idea what info to forward as these problems to me are seemingly 
unrelated except for the very thin IP masquerading connection.
