Hey, that's great!

Could you put that in OpenSSH, so that -portable and the distributions can 
pick that up sometime?

Understood.
For the service-IP address with failover it's not a problem to start a new 
SSHd; the only nice thing would be an "Include" statement, so that this 
instance only has definitions like

	HostKey ...
	HostKey ...
	HostKey ...
	Include /path/to/common/config


Thank you very much!
