Hi!!!
sshd needs DNS for backresolving!!!
When you are connecting to a remote host via SSH, sshd
tries to resolv in-addr.arpa zone for your IP address.
man sshd

I think this is a bad interaction between the default sshd timeouts
I sometimes get this error message:
sshd[543767]: WARNING: DNS lookup failed for " 171.31.1.21"
Why is this error message?
For what sshd needs DNS? If the DNS is unavailable I can't
log into my computer. How can I resolve this problem, so I
can still login if the DNS is not available?
IIRC sshd doe
