Vim recognizes only the patterns ssh_config and */.ssh/config.
(Open $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim and search for ssh.)  There are
several ways to add your own non-standard pattern for a filetype.
See ":help new-filetype".  I use the method of paragraph C.2: Create
the file ~/.vim/filetype.vim and put the following in it, where the
pattern I've shown as "config.ssh" can by anything you want.

    if exists("did_load_filetypes")
      finish
    endif
    augroup filetypedetect
      au! BufNewFile,BufRead config.ssh setf sshconfig
    augroup END

That said, and since you don't seem to care what the file is named,
it might be easiest to just name your file ssh_config.
