The DNS names shouldn't resolve from outside, but I do use an IP to
connect to it (i.e. the hostname of the remote host is a local hostname
that doesn't resolve on my end, and vice versa).
UseDNS no didn't make any difference, but disabling GSSAPI on the client
made it quite snappy again. I wonder why GSSAPI slows it down so, :-)

Thanks a lot for your help, both of you!
