I only use names for storage, but didn't have entries for the engine yet, So I think ssh was slow since it couldn't do reverse DNS lookups against the engine where my consoles are coming from. Thanks for the input. I wanted to verify before testing since this is a production environment. It seems like even the XMLRPC code must try and do a reverse DNS against the engine as well, not just ssh. Seems like the engine hosts also needs said hosts file as well..
