Every time my servers boot up, I'm getting the errors below. This appears to be a connection issue, but it happens only on boot up and it slows down the restart of my server by 30-60 seconds. 

After the server is up, it works perfectly fine. 

Is there a way that the timeout or the retries can be changed cause it seems to take over the server and prevent it from starting?

Merged post

Ok, sure, my post is lumped in with all the other related posts suggesting that the issue is on my side and it's a connectivity thing.

But I'm asking, can this process of trying to connect be delayed or modified in a way that it doesn't cause my server doesn't take twice the amount of time to boot up? Faster time outs or less retries or just a delay?

I get the following message sporadically in the console. what can I do? Or what is the error?
