Partially Solved! Re:Multiple ssh keys in known_hosts possible?

[Kihara Muriithi]

Hi pals,

I have come across this problem also, and I ended up giving up. As
Sorensen just mentioned, the application is designed to avoid
insecurity due to this situation.

I came across the problem when trying to back up Cisco PIX
configurations. The script logs in through ssh and push the recent
configuration somewhere else. This works until the backup takeover.
Since both primary and backup share the same IP, ssh log in fails as
the Primary PIX key is  different from the backup key. After reaching
the end of the rope on finding a solution, I gave up using ssh,
enabled telnet on pix and that is what is in use for backup. Not a
secure solution, but working at least.

I would be happy is someone here have a solution for this problem. I
don't know if Kelly solution would help, but I will look at it.
Anyway, a solution that don't use port would be more ideal

Regards
William
