I remember a discussion about this maybe a few years ago. I recall that it is basically impossible to stop ssh from looking up DNS addresses. The problem I was having was that ssh would take a long time to connect on my intranet, when my internet connection was slow or not working. I thought that the solution might be to put the relevant intranet addresses into /etc/hosts, but since sshd operates in some kind of jailed environment, that didn't work. Apparently there is some place where you can put hosts so that sshd will look at it. But I opted for a different option, and placed a DNS server on my intranet.
