>Description:
I am running two intranet servers in the above configuration.  Both of them
exhibit a problem where pressing the 'submit' button on a dynamically generated
form (from a Perl script, method=post) is ignored.  (Browser message
'contacting servername', no response)  This occurs regularly, but
not every time.  I have used different browsers in an attempt to isolate the
problem (Netscape 3, 4.0.4, MSIE) with no difference.  This does not occur on
other sites.

I cannot isolate what triggers this problem.  Suggestions?
