Summary: check_by_ssh hostname check

Initial Comment:
Please add a feature in check_by_ssh to skip the host_or_die() check.

I have host aliases defined in my system ssh_config (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) that are only accessible via ProxyCommand.  There are no DNS records for those systems since they exist outside the local network, and are not accessible except through a Proxy.

check_by_ssh.c

                case 'H':                                                                       /* host */
                        host_or_die(optarg);
                        hostname = optarg;
                        break;

If I comment out the `host_or_die()` and re-compile check_by_ssh seems to work perfectly fine to connect to the systems I have defined with aliases in my ssh_config.
