Darn, still no host headers so we can reverse proxy on a single ip

How would this be done? After the "SSH-2.0" banner, the first packet is SSH_MSG_KEXINIT and there's no space in that for a "Host" header:

If we did this in SSH then I think we should do it properly and take inspiration from TLS ESNI https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-esni/25/

You could wrap a TLS-connection around your SSH-connection, and then use the ALPN to indicate SSH, so that your reverse proxy knows, what to do with it.
