ansible 1.9.4 from pip on os x.

make an lxc host with no other purpose. all the containers are behind nat, so cant directly ssh to them, but i can ssh to the physical host.

this works, ssh n.n.n.n -o "ProxyCommand ssh lxctest -W %h:%p"

and so does ssh n.n.n.n -F sshoptions, which looks like this,

Host *
  User root
  ProxyCommand ssh lxctest -W %h:%p

how do you get that into the inventory? i tried group_vars/containers

---
ansible_ssh_common_args: -F sshoptions

and directly in the hosts file, but ssh keeps timing out. heres one example,

[containers]
myct ansible_ssh_host=N.N.N.N ansible_ssh_extra_args="-o 'ProxyCommand ssh lxctest -W %h:%p'"

has anyone gotten this to work?

ansible_ssh_common_args was introduced for 2.0 and does not exist in 1.9.4.
