[rancid] Rancid via proxy host

[Alan McKinnon]

Assuming that you have no direct ssh path from your environment to the
customer's:

First idea that comes to mind is to use ssh for connecting to all
devices, then leverage the ssh proxy/forwarding features configurable in
~/.ssh/config

Telnet can be more tricky, you might end up having to use a range or
ports forwarded to <customer_env>:23 or similar.

This one statement of yours is nonsensical:
"For this purpose I will use our monitoring system which has it’s own
agents in each customer environment."
That makes no sense wrt rancid, please elaborate on your thoughts how
you reckon this could work? Such as, what connectivity exists between
you and the customers?
