SSH is trying to resolve the computer name from the IP on the incoming side. It is hitting DNS and not finding it, it eventually times out and other policies take hold. On the computer you are connecting to (bigdog) ensure that the resolving policy is to use the hosts file first and also that the computer you are coming from (sage) is actually resolved to a name and domain in the hosts file.
