As I recall there is an option in the openssh config file in recent
versions to disable DNS lookups.
Thank you for pointing that out!
FreeBSD-5.3 supports workaround # sshd -o UseDNS=no
but older servers do not.
An older workaround # echo hosts: files >> /etc/nsswitch.conf
disables DNS on the entire server. I know /etc/host.conf
controlled host lookups, now vanished with no trace.
I guess /etc/hosts lacks reverse lookups.
