I am completely retarded today. Sorry. This all relates to .local not .lan.

This sounds similar to an issue I had that only affected 10.6 users on my network and then only some of them. The problem affected login and network access times. Just logging into the network or mounting a file server took a very long time from 10.6 users. This issue was that the local domain (from my PC server setup days) had been named domain.lan . Apparently Bonjour thinks it owns “.lan” and confuses any kerberos or other authentication attempts happening on that domain. If you do have a domain named .lan, you’ll need to create a subdomain “.local”, etc to include you mac server either on its DNS or the servers that handle DNS. Either way involves some hairy steps through OD & DNS to make it happen right. If this applies to you, post here and I’ll give you more info on the process.
