Use ~/.ssh/config to find fennell-hosted server

The web services on fennell-hosted run behind a reverse proxy which I do not
control, and only forwards HTTP/HTTPS traffic. No DNS entries point to the
underlying server. Therefore, the standard approach of using any DNS name that
points to that server does not work here.

I already have an entry in my ssh config for the underlying server under an
alias. So, if I do ssh ${alias}, then it picks up the IP address from that
config file. I want to use the same approach here, without duplicating the IP
address. This means I must use the config file.

This should allow me to use more flexible naming for other servers in the
config file too, matching how I ssh to those servers normally.
