As far as I know, everything is hunky-dory when connecting to an Ubuntu
box (which I've done up until now). Connecting to joyent.us was a pain,
until this workaround.
Interesting...

Just experienced this with a 8.04 ssh client talking to a CentOS ssh
server. Turning off GSSAPIAuthentication avoids the delay.

So it couldn't be a bug but an expected behavior. I don't know why GSSAPI auth
needs reverse lookup but one could argue that you have to set right direct and
reverse dns config in order to use SSH. If you haven't it (as in my situation)
the problem could be related to you (and me :-))
The DNS server is returning 'NXDomain' correctly. What is taking the
time is the Multicast AVAHI lookups.
You get the same delay if you ssh to an IP address.
The delay is a function of the AVAHI setup.
