Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the hosts.*
files only apply to those daemons running under inetd -- and
I don't believe sshd is one of those.

See the man page for sshd_config(5):
UseDNS Specifies whether sshd should lookup the remote host name and
check that the resolved host name for the remote IP address maps
back to the very same IP address. The default is ``yes''.
