Peter, as I recall one can disable the reverse DNS in ssh1 but not in 
ssh2.  Is that right?

I have seen this problem in the past and as I recall, the ssh-sshd dialog 
stops much earlier than I am seeing, and with a fairly clear error message 
saying that the reverse DNS lookup failed or didn't resolve to the same 
name/IP combination.

So I am inclined to think that this is not the problem.
