So I checked this. libssh2 (which is the one we're using) does not appear to support AF_UNIX for the ssh connection. We should most likely change over the libssh which is a better library. That library does in fact support AF_UNIX connections through the ssh_socket_unix API, although that's of dubious utility considering that almost no one runs an sshd listening on a Unix domain socket.
