And indeed it shall. Absent a HostKeyAlias, known_hosts will name a key
after the DNS name. So for example,
ssh user at foo.com -o HostKeyAlias bar.com
would check site foo for bar.com's key. Without the HostKeyAlias,
foo.com's key will be checked -- regardless of it's IP, if CheckHostIP
is set to no.
