Should be fine. Each entry will be one line. Now just insert the
appropriate hostname at the beginning of each line, separated from
the word "ssh-dss" by a space. If the host has multiple names, use a
comma-separated list of names. You can include IP addresses. There
are no spaces within the comma-separated list of hostnames. There is
a space immediately following that.
