I think you probably still aren't getting the name resolution on the connecting machines (yes, sshd does do a reverse name lookup). Try adding debug flags to the sshd and see what it thinks the problems are. There is an "sshd_flags" variable in rc.conf that you can set to do this automatically at boot time.
