    Address Book: LDAP lookups are painfully slow

    I'm running OS X 10.6.3 at the moment, and Address Book is currently synchronizing with two things: my Gmail account and an LDAP server. I have noticed that when trying to look up recipients with that LDAP connection when I am not within the organization's network, the actual process of finding recipients is ridiculously slow. We're talking >60 seconds, even when I look up a known unique name.

    When within the organization's network (or going with a VPN from home), this does not happen. I also don't remember this problem when using Entourage or Thunderbird -- it's like it's only Address Book. The settings were/are the same for all clients (same search base of dc=ad,dc=[domain],dc=[tld]; subtree scope).

    Has anyone seen anything similar, and does anyone have any thoughts on what I might be able to do to fix this?
