I have a client that as one account. They want to be able that if they

host, that it connects to the correct to the correct home directory
that matches the host,
ie..
devhost01 sftp to host1 connects to dev/home/directory
qahost01 sftp to host1 connects to qa/home/directory
prodhost01 sftp to host connects to prod/home/directory
host1 is the host running sshd
So is there way for sshd to see where the host is coming from and
redirect it to the correct directory?
