SSH and changing DNS servers

[josephc at etards.net]

in /etc/ssh/sshd_config set 'ReverseMappingCheck' to 'no'

thats a temporary solution. if you insist on using reverse dns as a check 
for ssh (i personally wouldn't) then you're going to have to do some 
trouble shooting. make sure these new DNS servers can resolve the reverse. 
if they can't add the hosts to /etc/hosts or switch to DNS servers that 
do.
