Slow initial response

On my server, whenever I connect to something for the first time, it's very slow, all the following requests go on fine.

For example, if I try access a website, for the first time, the browser hangs for a bit, and then the page loads really fast. All the following page requests go really fast as well. I am able to download at over 200kb/sec (my isp limit)

When I try to send an email thru the server (via outlook express), OE just hangs for a bit and then sends the email real quick.

FTP is the same story, but here I can actuall see at what spots it is hanging. First it hangs at "Resolving host name" for a bit, then it hangs a lot more at "Socket connected waiting for login sequence.". The second part seems to happen every time I connect. And again, the transfers are really fast.

What do you think could be the problem?
