This is probably because ssh on "c" knows a v2 host key for your
firewall which is different from "a" and "b".

In $HOME/.ssh/config on "c":

Host a
	Hostname firewall
	Port 22136
	HostKeyAlias a

Host b
	Hostname firewall
	Port 22137
	HostKeyAlias b

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