$ gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf

...
# Change this line
# hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
# To this (removed mdns4)hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
...

Configuration for sshd to not rDNS look up

$ echo "UseDNS no" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config

$ /etc/init.d/ssh restart

$ echo "[your_client_ip] [your_client_hostname]" >> /etc/hosts
