Automatically change Terminal profiles when ssh'ing into a server, and return to your default on exiting.

.bash_profile

# terminal profiles & ssh
# uses 'Pro' as default
function extractServerName () { echo ${1} | cut -f1 -d "."; }
function setTerminal() { PROFILE=${1}; osascript -e "try" -e "tell app
\"Terminal\" to set current settings of first window to settings set
\"${PROFILE}\"" -e "end try"; }
function ssh() {
    if command ssh "$@"; then
         setTerminal pro
    fi
}
export -f extractServerName
export -f setTerminal

README

In Terminal preferences, create a new profile (or import this example, which has my preferred settings 
for a production web server). The new profile's name must match the first part of the server's address. 
For example, the profile for myserver.example.edu should be named "myserver". 

Add the two snippets to your bash profile and ssh config, and enjoy. The profile will switch when ssh 
is used internally by commands such as rsync as well as in interactive shell sessions.

I find that occasionally, Terminal will not switch back to my default profile after exiting an ssh 
session. I don't yet know why. If that happens, just run "setTerminal pro", to switch to your desired
profile.

config

### in .ssh/config ###

  LocalCommand setTerminal $(extractServerName %h)
