I have ZPT 1.4.0 on Zope 2.3.2 

I'm using classes to create a UBB clone.

I never had any problems displaying forums and topics until I added batching to the forum_template. Whenever I use batching as described in the DTMLtoZPT conversion wiki page, I run to intermittent DNS errors on IE or Unexpected Network Read Error on Lynx. When jumping around to other ZPT pages.  

It can take four or five attempts to load a ZPT page. Once loaded, the page is easy to access after that. 


In the Z2.log, no activity shows until I can finally load the page. However, when it does load the page I get a 304.

Does anyone have any ideas where I should be looking for trouble?
