You can specify these in .ssh/config using the IdentityFile option. ssh
will try keys in the order in which they are listed there (even if the
keys reside in the agent). E.g.

Host foo
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_foo

Host bar
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_bar

It might be worthwhile to add %h expansion IdentityFile so you could
template this in the config file, see:
