The DNS server also behaved regarding name/ip addy lookups.
This server is a Zimbra mail server which during install, checks for proper DNS configs. I usually check proper functioning DNS by hand anyways.
The ipv6 line was strange but I read a while back, some tech note about ensuring that is your last line in hosts.
We got delayes by GSSAPIAuthentication, which we don't use.
Try disabling it if you don't need it.
"ssh -vvvv" might reveal more about where the delay happens.
