I don't think so.  SSL is TCP 443 by default.  If your E2K server is
different, then it's different because somebody set it that way and they
either redirect it or you tell your clients to use it that way.

Given the information you present, I'd say that the issue is very likely
something that comcast is doing, but it's surprising that it doesn't work
for both implementations. 

Where is the delay showing in the trace and what's on the wire when it
happens?  Are you seeing a lot of IP fragments or anything like that?

It's not a dns issue because simply removing SSL from the picture works
fine. Http://exchsrv2.cs.washington.edu = instant
https://exchsrv2.cs.washington.edu/exchange = delay. If it was a DNS issue,
it would be slow for both. Even after you connect, and get a DNS cache, it
is still slow. Plus, I added an entry directly to my HOST file. 3rd, I have
done a netmon capture, and you can see where the delays occur, and it's not
the initial portion of the conversation

I take ISP out of the picture by doing it at work, asking co workers with
DSL to try. I have comcast cable at home, and so do about 20% of the other
users on our network. All comcast users report problems, everyone else works
fine.

I did do a network monitor capture, I just took a deeper look and it appears
there is some connection trying to happen to destination port 443, which I
know COMCAST is blocking, so the problem is related to that I imagine.

I have 2 exchange servers, one is win2k & echc2k the other is win2k3 &
ech2k3. Some users on each (planning to move all users to new one, once I
solve this problem). Connecting to the older exchsrv works fine, even with
the SSL. Connecting to the new one has delays.

Is it safe to assume I have something misconfigured, that is telling OWA to
authenticate via port 443, where as the older one is not? I will look into
it.
