I don't think this is a generic Cygwin problem.  I can resolve the
hostname just fine:

  $ uname -svr
  CYGWIN_NT-10.0 2.4.1(0.293/5/3) 2016-01-24 11:26
  $ ssh timbuktu.kopseng.no
  The authenticity of host 'timbuktu.kopseng.no (51.175.197.68)' can't be established.
  RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:ddcghrb6BI6+TVDKDE3Yf+U43v9EL6u7HsNw7Hec+y8.
  Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? no
  Host key verification failed.
