Public bug reported: Coincident with the host command now outputing the names and IP addresses of the DNS servers, as well as the host information requested, ssh seems to be getting the same (multi-line) response which it then treats as a round-robin response. As a result, if the host is down, the ssh connection is redirected to the first DNS server in the list, resulting in a "possible DNS spoofing" error.
