------- Additional Comments From djm at mindrot.org  2004-09-04 08:28 -------
OpenSSH just uses the standard getaddrinfo() API, it doesn't do anything magical
for DNS queries. Any complaints about getaddrinfo()'s behaviour on your system
should be directed to your libc vendor.

BTW, you can turn off IPv6 lookups by setting "AddressFamily inet" in your
ssh_config.
