Dave, For example, the private key (used for authentication) is stored on the server as '/usr/local/ident.pk' (so it will survive sync to all), public key is distributed across other servers using some sort of script, which will add this public key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file during host initialization.
To authenticate using the key file different than /root/.ssh/id_rsa, use 'ssh -i /path/to/key.pk' (in the case of rsync - ' rsync -e "ssh -i /path/to/key.pk"'). Hope this will help you to implement what do you wish.
