The above looks normal if this is the first time your ssh client is
connecting to your ssh server (mydomain.com). The ssh client is simply
adding your ssh servers host key (probably /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key) to its
list of "known" hosts. (e.g. ~/.ssh/known_hosts)

Further reading should include: man ssh-keygen
