in that case us env varables and functions...

db01='-h db01.example.com -u first_database_user -p my_first_database'
db02='-h db01.example.com -u first_database_user -p my_first_database'
export db01 db02

_mysqldump () { mysqldump $1 }
_mysqladmin () { mysqladmin $1 }

_mysqldump $db01

...never tried that, YMMV. but a .ssh/config like cnf file would
be much better, actually I thought it did that, but never tried
that either. ;)
