There is currently some support for SSHFP in openssh, but it doesn't really
work.

I created a patch to fix the issue and put a fork up on github:
https://github.com/phicoh/openssh-getdns/tree/getdns

Note that you have to enable this in configure with '--with-getdns' and
use -o 'VerifyHostKeyDNS yes' to enable the feature at runtime.
