OK, I have an idea, but I don't know, protocol-wise, if it's possible. Does 
the server send it's name before the client has to verify the key, or 
after? If before, ssh should look up the host key by the server's in-band 
name (similar to the HostAuth behaviour). This would actually map the key 
to the identity at layer 7, and avoid the layering violation of using layer 
3/4 data, or requiring the user to manually map things.
