[K12OSN] Logins from Cygwin sloooow

[Petre Scheie]

Does this slowdown even happen on your laptop or just when connecting from one of the 
three new Windows boxes?  If it's just the latter, could it be related to the server 
trying to do a reverse DNS lookup on the clients, which don't have an entry in the DNS, 
and eventually the server gives up and lets the connection go through?  I've seen this 
kind of behavior several times over the years, where a client with a static address 
connects to a server and service with no problem, but clients that get addresses via 
DHCP have trouble, because they don't have an entry in the reverse DNS table.

Or maybe not.
