There are a bunch of machines in our lab, and we normally don't have DNS records configured for them, only accessing by IP. In order to ssh to them with key auth, I have a config in my .ssh/config like

Host *.mylab
  User root
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa.work

and I have some "address=/123.123.123.123.mylab/123.123.123.123" line in dnsmasq.conf. The problem here is I need to add an entry whenever a new IP comes.

So you've configured '123.123.123.123.mylab' to be resolved to an IP of '123.123.123.123'.

I wonder:
If your intention is to ssh into your clients by IP address anyway, then why would you want to involve DNS here at all?


Instead of referencing the host by name, e.g.

ssh 123.123.123.123.mylab

is there a reason why using the IP address directly, e.g.

ssh 123.123.123.123

would not work for you?
