We have a need for using different authentication source depending upon which nodes a user connects to via SSH relay. Currently we are using eDirectory as a source for authenticating users but we have servers in different environments and users need to be able to use the credential other than the eDirectory credential.

So I am asking if we can have something like this.

ssh -p 2222 userID@somedomain targetuser@targetserver

Can we get the ability to append a domain name after userID which will then look for authenticating user against that domain? Right now we are deploying multiple instance of PAM because we cannot use different authentication sources.
