How to pass options to ssh proxy command?
To collect some data from a bunch of hosts I use a bash script which calls scp in a loop. Most of these hosts are configured for ssh public key authentication.
I may skip those which have no key authentication and ask for password, ssh/scp options do the job:
-o BatchMode=yes
or
-o PasswordAuthentication=no
But there are also hosts for which ssh proxy should be used, as it's set up in
/etc/ssh/ssh_config:
ProxyCommand /usr/bin/ssh -qW %h:%p <jumphost>
In such a case any ssh/scp options apply only to the first command and I still get a password prompt from the proxy command.
Is it possible to pass options to the proxy command (without editing the configuration file)?

I do not think so. But you can have host-specificProxyCommand(s).
