First off, make sure you are using "-c ssh"

Also, I'd try editing your SSH config file, which Ansible will respect.

The ANSIBLE\_SSH\_ARGS thing is mostly there to override control master settings.

I use paramiko most of the time myself, so perhaps others with this setup can weigh in.

Thanks, I will try to hard code ProxyCommand in ssh config.
