    I use redir (http://sammy.net/~sammy/hacks/)
    to map ssh ports from behind my firewall, onto
    the firewall -- so I can log into the interior machine from outside,
    via "ssh -p <port> my.firewall.com".
    (redir works well.)

    This causes confusion in the "known_hosts" file on the client side,
     because the cert associated with
    the interior machine doesn't match that of my.firewall.com.

    Is there a Canonical fix to this problem? Or a hack?
    Or maybe a kludge? I'd rather not use the same cert for
    all the machines -- that would qualify maybe as a bandaid?

                      Thanks
