It seems to be happening only when they first start their browser.
Their home page is set to in.acura.com (where they go to login). It
seems that when they open their browser to go their 80% of the time it
hangs and after 5-10 secs it loads or comes up with connection
refused. This is on a DC and the DNS on the clients are going to the
DNS on the server. Is there anything that I need to do to make this
load quicker?
