Assuming T3356 can be backported to equuleus, this fix will not be needed.

I'll give backporting a try. It should be doable as long as Paramiko is in our reach. If not, I'll see if I can cobble together something to check for hostname resolution failure.

Thanks, @erkin --- I'm sure you can cherry-pick from 1.4 to 1.3; 'backporting' is not quite the right word, as it is development branch to stable branch. I really like this solution to the mess that was remote.py.
