If your reverse DNS is slow, then ftp logins and ssh connections can take up to two minutes or so. Microsoft based protocols don't do much IP based security validation, based upon the OLD SMB protocols (ripped off from DEC and ISO standards). Check your reverse DNS response times -- I bet they are whack.
