Sample session:
% cat .ssh/known_hosts.ca
@cert-authority *.example.com ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQC...5yM9EUO40GTkTDdm/tqXLr root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@cert-authority *.hosting.example.com ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQA...w83RVE37kLAaoGXjQ8mKp4wuUmRuxf root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
% ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=${HOME}/.ssh/known_hosts.ca dpcl064 echo "hello, world"
Warning: Permanently added 'dpcl064' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
hello, world
