A better solution (I think)
Authored by: jweber on Sep 30, '05 04:42:39PM

I usually just put a bunch of entries in my /etc/hosts file, e.g.
127.0.0.1 host1.localhost
127.0.0.1 host2.localhost
...

Then I can ssh to host1.localhost instead of just localhost. This keeps the names separate so known_hosts doesn't get confused, and has the added benefit that it's always clear which host I'm connecting to.
