+How do I configure a jump host to access servers that I have no direct access to?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+With Ansible version 2, it's possible to set `ansible_ssh_extra_args` as
+an inventory variable. Any arguments specified this way are added to the
+ssh command line when connecting to the relevant host(s), so it's a good
+way to set a `ProxyCommand`. Consider the following inventory group:
+
+    [gatewayed]
+    foo ansible_ssh_host=192.0.2.1
+    bar ansible_ssh_host=192.0.2.2
+
+You can create `group_vars/gatewayed.yml` with the following contents:
+
+    ansible_ssh_extra_args: '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q user@gateway.example.com"'
+
+Ansible will then add these arguments when trying to connect to any host
+in the group `gatewayed`. (These arguments are added to any `ssh_args`
+that may be configured, so it isn't necessary to repeat the default
+`ControlPath` settings in `ansible_ssh_extra_args`.)
+
+Note that `ssh -W` is available only with OpenSSH 5.4 or later. With
+older versions, it's necessary to execute `nc %h:%p` or some equivalent
+command on the bastion host.
+
+With earlier versions of Ansible, it was necessary to configure a
+suitable `ProxyCommand` for one or more hosts in `~/.ssh/config`,
+or globally by setting `ssh_args` in `ansible.cfg`.
