Website hangs when connecting

I have 2 servers in different locations and the DNS is at a managed dns place. The connection to one server is perfect, the connection to the second which is win 2003 hangs when I first try to connect to the server for my SmarterMail webmai (which is .NET)l at mail.mydomain.com for about 10-15 sec. When it connects the server is very fast.

If I close the browser and open it again it connects without any delays. I can do that for a little while with out any problems, roughly 15min.

Here is the response I got from a Microsoft forum, but it seems unlikely to me that this unfixable. Has anyone had a similar experience?

"I can imagine a scenario with IIS6 on Windows Server 2003 and ASP.Net where on first request to an ASPX page it takes about 10-15 seconds to load (because a new worker process is spinning up to serve the request and the ..Net Frameworks takes a while to load), and then on subsequent requests it
connects without delays. This will happen every time you leave the website idle and not processing requests for 15+ minutes."

Thanks.
Kevin
