CONFIGURATION FILES
     ssh obtains configuration data from the following sources in the follow­
     ing order: command line options, user's configuration file
     ($HOME/.ssh/config), and system-wide configuration file
     (/etc/ssh_config). For each parameter, the first obtained value will be
     used. The configuration files contain sections bracketed by ``Host''
     specifications, and that section is only applied for hosts that match one
     of the patterns given in the specification. The matched host name is the
     one given on the command line.
...

[~/.ssh/config]

host *.foo.net
  user userfoo

host *.bar.net
  user userbar
