Is nesting of Here Document possible in a unix bash script?


Yes

However, the nested heredoc terminator will only be recognized when indented if the indentation is done with actual tabs. Spaces won't work.

So you probably want to do something more like:

ssh s1 << \eof1  ssh s2 << \eof2    hostnameeof2eof1
