Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:5.6p1-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: ipv6
While IPv6 is not pervasive and IPv4 addresses growing sparse, port
forwarding will likely see increased usage. Hence, I expect many
more ssh_config stanzas like
Host myhost
Port 22016
Hostname …
to facilitate accessing these hosts behind NATting gateways.
Unfortunately, this also affects IPv6 connections, even though IPv6
can (and usually does) restore p2p-connectivity.
It would thus be nice if there were an option e.g. Port4 which only
changed the port for IPv4 connections; if the connection happens
through IPv6, the port is left unchanged.
The corresponding Port6 option is probably not needed, though.
