The typical way you'd do this with the plain _arguments function
is with the ->state mechanism:  use _arguments to figure out the
context and set a state, then in a 'case' or the like on the state
value you call your ssh command to get the list of values and then
call _values with that.

I'm not familiar enough with _regex_arguments to know if it can be
used in a similar two-stage manner.
