I think I may have found a small snag that *may* have been the root cause of my slow/hanging ssh...

The appliance v2 by default setups up the hostname to "rdhost". Of course that is EASILY changed after installation (there are many how-tos on this; its very simple).

HOWEVER, when troubleshooting a different issue, I logged into my router to see its dhcp client table, and the hostname listed for my v2 was the default hostname (rdhost). How could that be, when I changed it...

As it turns out, the instructions for changing the hostname (all the ones I have found anyway) DO NOT change the following line:

DHCP_HOSTNAME=x

In the following file:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

Whether that is on purpose, or an oversight I don't know, but thought I'd pass that along if you experience any dns related issues.

Likely a DNS problem.  Make sure you’ve to the resolver pointing to a valid DNS 
server in ‘/etc/resolv.conf’.  Like so:

nameserver 75.75.75.75

Cheers!
