Re: How to allow multiple hosts with same key??

I don't think user@host matters in your public key at all. You can change that as blah@blah and it should work. That is just for some information purpose. Actually key is that big HEX string you are seeing which is related to private key. So as long you have same private key , you can use same public key also. I am not sure about how and what product you are trying to use. But consider this scenario.

You have users home (assuming UNIX environment) on NFS. So user will log on any machine but gets same home. Assuming user is storing ssh private keys at default location ~/.ssh/ then user will get same private key no matter which machine he is logging and thus same public key would work here in server/client context.
