If internet is down, and if I try to ssh to the server from within the 
LAN the passwd prompt come late. What could be the reason for this.
DNS. Or rather reverse lookup. Add a local (within LAN) DNS server
with forward and reverse entries for your local machines and make sure
this server is queried first. Your problem of "late prompt" will
disappear.

Alternatively uou can add the entry in the local machines host file. Also add an entry for your machine on the remote host
