Hi,

  I'm trying to configure a completion so that ssh and scp get the
  following completion behavior:

  from the ~/.ssh/config file syntax is:

  Host foo
    moreconfig options
    even more
    .
    .

  Host bar
    .
    .

  Host *
    general options


  now i want to only have the following completions: 'foo' and 'bar' the
  manpages are way to big for me to find what I want, especially that i
  don't really have an idea what sections i should have a look at.

  any help appreciated
  thx
  Martin

You can set up directly the style hosts:

zstyle ':completion:*:*:*' hosts foo bar

or use something like what I have in my .zshrc:

[ -f ~/.ssh/config ] && : ${(A)ssh_config_hosts:=${${${${(@M)${(f)"$(<~/.ssh/config)"}:#Host *}#Host }:#*\**}:#*\?*}}
[ -f ~/.ssh/known_hosts ] && : ${(A)ssh_known_hosts:=${${${(f)"$(<$HOME/.ssh/known_hosts)"}%%\ *}%%,*}}
zstyle ':completion:*:*:*' hosts $ssh_config_hosts $ssh_known_hosts

Remove $ssh_known_hosts if you do not want to add the content of
.ssh/known_hosts
