OK, but why is this better than my working multihop?

@bmargulies, because once it is configured you can just do "ssh THIRD-HOST" completely transparently and forget about the relay hosts. Moreover, you do not have to manage/allocate port numbers. And it doesn't scale very well: you have to add -L flags at each layer.

One way this seems to be slightly different is key management - if I'm chaining ssh commands by hand then it can authenticate to bastion using an SSH key that lives on host-at-work. When attempting ProxyCommand key authentication fails, presumably as it's depending on local keys. Perhaps there are extra options that can fix this.
