That's my first guess as well.  #2 is it's trying to contact a w3c  
www server to validate against the DTD you declared in one of your  
DOCTYPE declarations and the w3c server you got from its round-robin  
DNS is down.  I submit Tomcat should know how to try another, but  
that's another bug.

Best to keep your DOCTYPEs SYSTEM rather than PUBLIC on tomcat  
servers.  DAMHINT.
