hi,

since i upgraded my systems to 1.6.2 i notice a very strange behaviour 
on my systems; i tested it with 1.6.2 on sparc (SS20MP), sparc64 (U10), 
macppc (G4 sawtooth), and i386 (IBM intellistation, on board fxp and 
rtk tested). additionally, i see it on the intelli when i run -current 
(yesterday's build).

my network is a typical /24 NAT on a 768kbps DSL line; i tested above 
mentioned behaviour with three different routers (just to be sure it is 
not a routing issue or sth. related to the router):

- draytek vigor 2200W (most recent stable firmware)

- cisco 837

- used my G4 Mac as router (i.e. BSD subsystem)

it happens regardless of what router i use.

now the phenomenon itself:

ftp to ftp.netbsd.org (for example; it occurs everytime i try to access 
a system not in my /24) -> one to two minutes pause, then connect; 
speed is okay.

ftp to any system in my LAN -> connection is built up fast, speed is 
excellent ;)

quite interesting is: ICMP seems not to be affected since ping, 
traceroute, LFT etc. operate as usual. UDP (DNS e.g.) is also okay.

i wonder whether i'm the only one who has this problem; a tcpdump 
output si possible.

tia & regards,

timo
