Research direction

Start with the documented sshuttle -r ... -D invocation and compare the man pages and documentation site for options related to keeping or reusing the SSH connection. Determine whether the requested behavior is supported already; if not, define the needed command-line behavior and how its completion would be tested and documented.

Description

Imagine the following scenario:

I want to use sshuttle to proxy some connections but I want to connect to that host via ssh as well.

Currently I need to run both sshuttle + ssh as:

sshuttle -r whatever a.b.c.d/x -D
ssh whatever

It would be nice to have a flag or something that allows to stay connected without the need of running another ssh process, but I couldn't find how to do it in the man pages or the docs site.

Is that possible?

Thanks.
