When multiple hosts are used everything seems to execute on a single host instead of the intended host #365

Description

Describe the bug

If you have two jobs connecting to two different hosts, it issues all the commands against one of the hosts rather than the intended host.

If I do SSH_HOST_1 and SSH_HOST_2, things seem to work just fine ... but if I do what's described below ... SSH_HOST and JOBS_SSH_HOST ... even though the logs show the right IP, everything just goes to SSH_HOST.
