Jan 2, 2013 at 17:23 comment added Michael Yasumoto No, the error is the exact same as when I connect by name. No matching host key fingerprint found in DNS. It sounds like you are confusing the problem. It is not an ssh DNS issue due to the "UseDNS yes" option. This is an SSHFP problem using "VerifyHostKeyDNS yes", so connecting by IP is probably not going to solve it.
Jan 2, 2013 at 12:12 comment added peterph @peacekeeper so the error is something like The authenticity of host 'publicIP (publicIP)' can't be established. ?
Jan 2, 2013 at 10:14 comment added Michael Yasumoto Same issue. Either SSHFP doesn't support sshing directly to an IP, or it does a reverse look up of the IP and gets the name which puts things right to where I started. The SSHFP doesn't match the key of the server I'm connecting to.
Jan 2, 2013 at 9:07 comment added peterph Try connecting directly by IP address - to me it seems that ssh is confused by the DNS records not matching the hostname you are trying to reach.

Jan 2, 2013 at 7:18 comment added Gert van den Berg It might be interesting to see from Wireshark / tcpdump what is being queried from the DNS server and what response is sent. Knowing the exact queries and responses should help finding the problem.
Jan 2, 2013 at 4:24 comment added Michael Yasumoto Yes. Sorry, I should have mentioned that I tried all variations: ssh www; ssh www.test.us; ssh www.test.us.; All of them result in the same response.

Jan 2, 2013 at 1:34 comment added Ulrich Dangel Did you try to connect to explicitly connect to www.test.us?
