[PLUG] Remote login via ssh

  This is an interesting problem that you SysAdmin types could probably
answer off the top of your head. But, I don't know where to start looking.

  When I try to initiate a remote login to my domain name with ssh the
process hangs after a couple of steps (as seen when running ssh with '-vv').
But, when I invoke ssh with the IP address the connection is almost instant.

  I suspect this is related to the DNS server at the company providing 'Net
access in hotels, airports and the like, but the IP address and domain name
have been associated for several years.

  Your thoughts on what can cause this behavior is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich
