Don't assume that. I never saw that feature. I can see it now since I
know what name to look for from your post. It certainly wasn't the logic
I was looking for. I was always grepping for "identity" or "identities"
since that was clearly the thing getting in the way :-( But this makes
sense. I'll try it when I get back to work on Monday. Thanks.

Try IdentityFile and IdentitiesOnly together in ssh_config.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
