SLOOOOWWW SSH access

For work, I have to VPN into our dev/test environment. Once that is done, I use SSH to mess around on individual machines. I can log in fine, and the first few commands I throw at them are fast, but over a minute or so, the connection will degrade greatly. I'll be typing and nothing will show up for ~10-15 seconds, then the whole buffer appears.

I've tried running with three levels of debug turned on (ssh -v -v -v name@server) but it still is just blank when there is an issue. The weird thing is that when it's freaking out, I can start a second SSH session and it works fine for a few minutes while the first is having issues. Other people can connect without this problem, so it seems local.

Thoughts?

    I'd guess some sort of packet collision problem that has to do with the VPN?

    If you're messing around with the machines via SSH anyway, see if you can convince someone to let you setup a box outside of the dev cluster with an ACL set to allow SSH from that machine to the dev boxes.

    You might want 2-factor for it...
