Short version: How do I have multiple ssh keys not overwrite each other,

and not force me to use the -i <keyfile> option to ssh for different
servers?

Have a look at the ~/.ssh/config or system-wide /etc/ssh/ssh_config files

documented in ssh_config(5) manual page. For example:

Host server1
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key1

And @ Dan Nelson:

Host blocks are what I wanted, I think.  Thank you all.

Cheers!
