are both of those IPs on the same NIC?? or do you have two NICs??
cuz my best guess is that sshd just binds to the interface on which the given IP is... if that's the case, and you only have one NIC, then that might explain why you are getting this behavior... you could always forget about the "ListenAddress" thing and instead filter the packets using iptables...
My goof... we are using a very smart routing configuration at work -- the 10.xxx segment is part of a VPN -- if you're inside then it will automatically send you to that 10. address when using the DNS name. When I try to access it via the external address it times out :-)

cool, i wouldn't have ever imagined it was NAT-related... i assumed you had done a netstat and had actually seen sshd listening... anyways, it's good to hear everything's okay...
