sorry guys, but how to fix this problem wasn't clearly understood:
is it due a network issue?
performance issue? (bearing in mind it has only 512MB of RAM)
few cname common configuration?
misconfiguration? a version bug?
do not know why this problem exist only with one domain..

thanks all your answers..
