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=3D10) by smtp.inf=
racaninophile.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.infracan=
inophile.co.uk
