What it looks like to me is that your machine could not find a reverse DNS
entry in it's records for the above IP address and therefore it has to go
on the Internet and search for a hostname to assign to it before it gives
up and just lets the user connect as an IP address. SSH has a preference
for hostname over IP, it would appear. If you add the machines IP and host
to /etc/hosts, it should look there for the DNS information and should
find the entry you created, thus it would assign that hostname to the
connecting user, thus making the connection much faster. Or, if you have
the access and the inclination, you can go into your DNS server and add a
PTR line for that server (your NS has to be authorative for that IP
though), and then you can try and connect. Having the machine see the
reverse DNS would speed things up by alot.
