Bug Description
This is not a bug, this is a enhancement proposal:
I work a lot with a couple of Linux Servers. They work fine and i really like the name resolution via Avahi/Zeroconf. It's really simple to use hostnames without a nameserver. A nice thing would be a avahi aware ssh client, so that i could e.g. type
# ssh some[tab]
and end up with
# ssh someserver.local
instead of typing the whole thing. At the end it should work the same way like filename completion inside the bash or package name completion with apt-get.

The ssh client isn't in a position to influence shell completion; this is up to the shell to implement.
