hi there,

i was wondering if it was possible to use known_hosts for some kind
of "local alias" database.

e.g. i have only an ip.  it would be nice imho if i could add
a symbolic name:

before:

aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABvI.... snip snip snip

after:

box,aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABvI.... snip snip snip


and i could do a

$ ssh box

without box resolving to anything outside ssh...
this would be quite handy if there's no access to /etc/hosts
and i think it's more "elegant" than using shell variables,
aliases, etc...
