Ansible 2.2 not respecting ssh.cfg

I am using a dynamic inventory. The build inventory returns hosts vars with the following

inventory_hostname= jenkins-0.build.vnet
ansible_host=y.y.y.y (There are private ips)

I also have
x.x.x.x = The public ip of the jump box

I have the following in my ssh.cfg which is referenced in my ansible.cfg

Host build-bastion
    HostName x.x.x.x
    ForwardAgent yes

Host *.build.vnet
    ProxyCommand ssh build-bastion -W %h:%p

This does not work and I get an “unreachable” error.

If remove the dynamic inventory entirely and do the following in my static inventory

[build-jenkins]


jenkins-0.build.vnet ansible_host=y.y.y.y

It still does not work

However, the below does work.

[build-jenkins]


jenkins-0.build.vnet ansible_host=y.y.y.y ansible_ssh_common_args=' -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p x.x.x.x"'

In fact, if I run the hardcoded static version, then remove it and use the dynamic version, it works. I assume because of connection caching.

I cannot set the args global, because we have different boxes for different customers and environments.
