I get password authentication errors now whenever I try to connect to a remote SSH server. Could this be a reverse name lookup problem? I tried doing an nslookup on my WAN IP on the remote system, and I get the result non-existent host/domain.

Is there anything I can do about this but sit and wait?

No reverse entry could be the problem...I'm looking at my OpenSSH server running on RH 7.1 right now and I do see an option in there for "ReverseMappingCheck Yes/No". Assuming the server you're connecting to has it set to "yes", I'm guessing that could be it.
