Do you have anything in ~/.ssh/config that would be messing with your
connection?

I'm not a FreeIPA user, but I use the same technology in our environment
(i.e. Kerberos, Bind w/dyndb-ldap).  Adding a IP based host principal into
the KDC is typically not needed since the host name should be resolved
and the FQDN based principal should be used.  It smells like a sshd/ssh
configuration issue to me.  I just tested connecting to a server using
only an IP address without issue.  My client resolves the IP to a FQDN
and then makes the request to the KDC.

Can you post the output of "ssh -G 10.10.10.5" so we can see what client
side options are being used?

Also, post the results of "dig -x 10.10.10.5" from the same client.
Just verifying nothing in /etc/hosts or elsewhere is interfering.
