I don't know whether this is deliberate or not, but I cannot get the 
synchronize module to route to my computers, when all other modules are 
content.

All of the controlled hosts are behind firewalls that I do not control, so 
access is via a reverse ssh tunnel. The inventory file has entries like 
this:

`host_1234 ansible_host=localhost:1234 ansible_user=username 
host_key_checking=false`

the ansible_ssh_common_args are set in group_vars/all as:

`ansible_ssh_common_args: '-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o ProxyCommand="ssh 
-W %h: -q jumphost"'`

where `jumphost` is where the controlled computers log into and set up 
reverse ssh proxies.

Commands such as:
`ansible ping -i hosts host_1234 -m ping
host_1234 | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false, 
    "ping": "pong"
}`

work as expected. However, the embedded rsync command in the synchronize 
module cannot resolve to the target host. It constructs the wrong rsync 
command:
`ansible -vvv -i hostfile host_1234 -m synchronize -a 
"src=/var/log/daemon.log dest=daemon"`, creates:

`/usr/bin/rsync --delay-updates -F --compress --archive --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh 
-S none -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null 
--out-format=<<CHANGED>>%i %n%L /var/log/daemon.log 
[username@localhost:1234]:daemon`

A working rsync command is:
`rsync -avz -e "ssh -A jumphost ssh -p 1234" 
username@localhost:/var/log/daemon.log daemon/`

Is this a bug or a missing feature?  Is the issue with ansible's parameter 
construction, or synchronize's use of them?
