Right now ssh (which forwards the request to the agent) doesn't
understand the agent protocol, so it can't differentiate.  It's
something Damien has mentioned as something we'd like to add but I
don't know of any concrete plans.

In the mean time, you could use a separate agent for the key in
question and point $SSH_AUTH_SOCK at the appropriate socket.

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