PROXY can contain the patterns `%h' or `%u'. These patterns are
replaced by the strings matching HOST or USER, respectively.
If you, for example, wants to work as `root' on hosts in the domain
`your.domain', but login as `root' is disabled for non-local access,
you might add the following rule:
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
'("\\.your\\.domain\\'" "\\`root\\'" "/ssh:%h:"))
Opening `/sudo:randomhost.your.domain:' would connect first
`randomhost.your.domain' via `ssh' under your account name, and perform
`sudo -u root' on that host afterwards. It is important to know that
the given method is applied on the host which has been reached so far.
`sudo -u root', applied on your local host, wouldn't be useful here.
This is the recommended configuration to work as `root' on remote
Ubuntu hosts.

That is on the todo list already. Unfortunately, I haven't enough time.
