I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem for one of the developers here. She is
trying to connect to another web host we have using cfhttp. The connection is
timing out. I do not see the connection attempt being made in the logs of the
destination server.

But, if we attempt to do a ssh connection from the host to the destination
server the connection suddenly starts to work. Yesterday the server was
rebooted and the same thing happened. The http connection is not done, but
starts to work when a ssh connection from the server to the destination host is
attempted. So we know that it's not a network issue.

Any ideas why the Cold Fusion server cannot locate the destination without the
server previously connecting to the remote host via another transport?

This is a Cold Fusion MX 7 server running on Solaris via WebLogic 8. I'm not
a Cold Fusion person, so let me know if you need more info.

Thanks for any help.

Did you try telnet (instead of ssh) from failing server to target
server? You do not have ssh bridge between them, do you?
