Let's get straight to it:

1)      Have a little respect.
2)      Don't cross-post excessively.
3)      Don't obfuscate hostnames in bug reports.
4)      Define "offline"; I get nothing like the behaviour that you are
        describing from a downed host, nor from a non-existent host:

        $ ssh quinch
        ssh: connect to host quinch.private.submonkey.net port 22: Operation 
timed out
        $ ssh sdfsdfs
        ssh: sdfsdfs: No address associated with hostname
5)      Come on, can't you spell check your mail before sending it?

Thanks,

Ceri
