Skipping over the ssh problem --- the difference you're seeing in the
output of the host command is entirely normal. It's just the
difference between doing a forward and a reverse lookup.
Eg. forwards:
% host arbitrary
arbitrary.infracaninophile.co.uk has address 81.2.69.219
arbitrary.infracaninophile.co.uk mail is handled (pri=10) by smtp.infracaninophile.co.uk
and reverse:
% host 81.2.69.219
219.69.2.81.IN-ADDR.ARPA is a nickname for 219.216-223.69.2.81.IN-ADDR.ARPA
219.216-223.69.2.81.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer arbitrary.infracaninophile.co.uk
Cheers,
Matthew
