+Once consequence of reusing connection related information is that
address@hidden needs to distinguish hosts.  If you, for example, run a
+local @code{sshd} on port 3001, which tunnels @command{ssh} to another
+host, you could access both @address@hidden, , localhost,}} and
address@hidden@trampfn{ssh, , localhost#3001,}}.  @var{tramp} would use the
+same host related information (like paths, Perl variants, etc) for
+both connections, although the information is valid only for one of
+them.
+
+In order to avoid trouble, you must use another host name for one of
+the connections, like introducing a @option{Host} section in
address@hidden/.ssh/config} (@pxref{Frequently Asked Questions}) or applying
+multiple hops (@pxref{Multi-hops}).
