I have a setup where I need to do 2 proxy jumps in order to connect to my server D. Effectively, from A, I need to connect to B, from which I need to connect to C (which only allows connections from B) from where I then can connect to D (which only accepts connections from C).
On B, using the ssh config, I can connect to D by simply typing ssh D, which is why I thought that I could use this config on A to connect to D:
Host B
hostname 127.0.0.1
user myUser
Port 43099
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Host D
hostname D
ProxyJump macbookpf
and then connect from A to connect to D via ssh D.
However, this is the error that I get from this:

It seems that the ssh config on B is not read at all.
My ssh config on B looks like this:
Host C
HostName C
User MyUser
ForwardX11Trusted yes
ForwardX11 yes
Host D
User MyUser
HostName D
ProxyCommand ssh %r@C -W %h:22
RemoteForward 26512 github.com:22
Compression yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes
ForwardX11 yes
DynamicForward 10080
ControlMaster auto
ControlPath ~/.ssh/masters/%C
Is there a way to edit the ssh config on A such that I can connect from A to D with ssh D?
