connect)and ODBC connects, I would assume that you must be having an issue that is non-odbc related. 

60 seconds lag that happens all the time is generally a DNS issue.
Whenever a connection takes that long of a time, and the server is not
loaded like crazy, then it is most likely a reverse DNS issue.
Sometimes a forward DNS issue. The delay is just the amount of time
for the DNS lookup to timeout.
