Hey folks, As most of everyone, I use OpenSSH for almost everything and whenever I can: backups, sync, Git, configuration management, and of course console sessions. So much for an intro ;) My laptop and I roam between three networks, though sometimes I leave the laptop at the office overnight, or hop over to the third site for an hour or two. I'd like to find a way to configure OpenSSH (or Linux in general) to try the other networks if the machine cannot be found locally. Unfortunately, DNS "search" in /etc/resolv.conf and CanonicalizeHostname in ssh_config both don't work since they only iterate the network DNS zones until a record is found, and my laptop has an entry in all three zones. Short of creating a single DNS entry and adding all possible IPs for my laptop, I am wondering if there's a way to configure OpenSSH (or Linux) to try multiple DNS names until a connection can be made. For extra bonus special points, this should obviously happen all at once to reduce wait times. Assuming that this isn't currently possible — I did search and investigate — would this be a worthwhile feature to look into?
