Always

cat > ~/.ssh/custom_config << __EOF__
Host host1
   HostName localhost

Host host2

Comment 1 Petr Lautrbach 2014-07-14 14:50:39 UTC

This is expected. openssh runs 'ssh <host> scp ...' when a file is not available locally. If you need to use local config file and use it for both connection, use -3 option then.
