Making this easier and transparent would be nice, but I would still
vote to allow DNS names in pg_hba.conf.
SSH tunneling implies another level of software, user accounts, and
permissions. It would be nice to handle the entire sphere of users
and permissions from within PostgreSQL. For database access
requirements, I would much rather allow DNS names in pg_hba.conf than
provide SSH access.
