ssh communication issue

-Hopefully this is the right list-
Our ssh connections work fine on all our servers when we connect via the -local- network.
But, when we ssh from the -internet-, there are long pauses where i/o is not displayed/echoed to the screen on our Debian servers.
We experience 10 to 30 second pauses after a screen or 2 of display on Debian Etch kernel 2.6.12, SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.2p1 Debian-5.
We have same issue, with slightly shorter pauses, on a Debian Sarge kernel 2.4.18, OpenSSH_3.4p1 Debian 1:3.4p1-1.woody.3.
We do not experience the problem on a SCO OS5 3.2v5.0.5 kernel, OpenSSH_2.2.0p1
Also, if we ssh to SCO first, then locally ssh to Debian, the pauses do not occur...
So it definitely has nothing to do with the network or infrastructure or the load on any server, etc.
It is something to do with either Debian or OpenSSH and only is triggered when the IP source IP is outside the LAN.
Does anyone know what might me contributing to the screen IO issue?
Cheers,
Larry
