Can you point to where it says that explicitly? I see in ssh_config(5):
HostName
Specifies the real host name to log into.
It says
Hostname
Specifies the real host name to log into. This can be used to
specify nicknames or abbreviations for hosts. *Arguments to
Hostname* accept the tokens described in the TOKENS section. Nu-
meric *IP addresses* are also permitted (both on the command line
and in Hostname specifications). The default is the name given
on the command line.
Of course I understand that this is ambiguous. I don't expect any miracles
here.
Having both IPv4 and IPv6 address defined for a specific Host would be
reasonable, though.
