proposed change to ssh_connect_direct()

if the remote hostname has multiple ip addresses, ssh_connect_direct
will currently loop and try each address in sequence until one works.

I'm interested in making ssh tries each address concurrently and
return success on the first one that connects. in the land of host
certs and ssh bastions, this can be incredibly effective.

are there any objects to me working up a patch to implement this?

Cheers,
peter
