Nada.

You want.

yume:~ mouring$ cat ~/.ssh/config
Host site-m
        Hostname site.org
        ControlMaster yes
        ControlPath ~/.ssh/site

Host eviladmin-s
        ControlPath ~/.ssh/site
yume:~ mouring$

Then you can use "site-m" to create the initial connection and "site-s" to
establish channels.

Even works with sftp and scp nicely.
