I have two questions regarding agent-auth

1) when i create the key on the server the normal way it sets the IP
of the server, when i utilize agent-auth it uses "any" instead of IP
for all servers added via the auth-agent. Is this normal behavior, can
the IP be added via the agent? And does having "any" replaced by IP
have impact in management etc. Do i benefit from having IP versus ANY?

2) we utilize a cloud like environment and servers are replaced with
names and ip's reused. So when a new SERVER07 comes up the hostname
and IP are always the same but the instance is new based the latest
build process.  when i utilize the auth-agent and the hostname exists
already it is creating a new one incrementing the hostname so i see
server07 and server072.  Would it be possible to pull the existing key
in any way? I have a script that is calling into the servers
client.keys and grep out the line for the host/ip combo that is being
rebuilt creating the proper hosts existing client key.  Looking for
better options if available to make the server re-building process
easier.

Thanks for you time
