Thanks for the reply, Bruce. Unfortunately my problem is that I want to 
avoid the host key lookups entirely. I'm doing embedded development and 
I routinely bring up new devices on my network with new ssh keys. 
Preloading keys would work for most home user environments, but not the 
one I'm working in. I should have mentioned that in my initial post.

Regards,

Scott
