All my local net addresses are assigned by dhcpd running on the
firewall.

The problem with ping was a result of my switch getting confused after
I changed the ip addresses. I've gotten everything working again by
going back to the original address assignment and removing power from
the switch to make the switch forget address-port associations.

So does a change of IP address for an ssh target affect the way ssh works?
