I had the same issue on a lot of servers at work until I added reverse
lookup entries in DNS for all the addresses (even if you only use foo1,
foo2, foo3, etc).  Failing RDNS, try adding entries in your /etc/hosts file
for all of your machines.  That should speed it up considerably.  SSH tries
to resolve IP addresses to names, and that can take some time if it can't
find a name.
