You don't understand -- I'm talking about what _users_ want; like me.
I'm not the one who sets up their SSH sessions; they just want to use it.

When I tell someone to install openssh and then connect to "server" at
port 2000 for their website and port 2001 for their ftp site, it should
work because openssh has all the information it needs to make it work.

If you read my original message carefully, that's exactly what I wanted.

Mind you, ssh proxy:1000 would be much more consistent with URIs, but not
at all necessary.
