It just means ssh looks up the reverse DNS on the IP 71.16.200.56 and it 
gets back uslec-71.16.200.56.cust.uslec.net, then it tries to verify that 
points to the same IP but in this case it doesn't exist so it thinks the 
world is about to end and its time to get new underwear.. its all a bit 
o.t.t. really but such is life.
