Hello,<br>
<br>
How about adding:<br>
<br>
alias labssh='ssh -i ~/.ssh/<a href="http://id_rsa.work" target="_blank">id_rsa.work</a>'<br>
<br>
to your shell profile (.bashrc or whatever)? Then you can just do
'labssh <ip-address>' and the alias expansion makes ssh use
the appropriate ID file.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Geoff.<br>

<div dir="auto">Let me explain more about the motivation: I am a
developer and our testers test the code on various
environments, including VMs on cloud and k8s worker nodes from
cloud providers. These machines and IPs are not
provisioned/allocated by dnsmasq. For cost reason, these
environments only lives for a short period of time, like one
week or so, and testers provision these IPs directly without
awareness of network administrators, that’s also why we don’t
configure hostname for these machines in DNS system. Also I
can not know in advance the list of possible IPs.</div>

<div dir="auto">Whenever tester find some issue or need help,
they give me the IP of the environments and I need to ssh to
that environment. Because I will probably login to that same
machine several times since the testers are testing my code on
that machine recently, I want to setup passwordless login. So
I normally ssh-copy-id -i <~/.ssh/<a href="http://id_rsa.work" target="_blank">id_rsa.work</a>> <IP>first,
then ssh to that machine. In order to instruct ssh to use my
ssh key when connecting to that IP, I have below lines in my

<p>Did you know that dnsmasq registers all hosts by
their name, if they send their own hostname when
requesting DHCP from dnsmasq? Just use domain=mylab
and have that host send hostname. It would make using
names possible without any additional configuration.<br>
</p>
<p>I do not get what is the advantage of having IP
suffixed by some domain. It looks like IP address, but
it is even longer. Names of machines should be easy to
remember or use, I doubt that would be the case here.</p>
<p>I think we have new feature conf-script, which can
generate dnsmasq configuration on the output. But I
doubt we have a possible code for what you describe.
Could you please describe more about intended usage?
Why isn't using just hostname for each host enough?
Using dhcp-host seems enough for similar uses.<br>
</p>
<p>I think DLZ plugins for BIND9 are able to do similar
things to your request, but that would be very
heavy-weight solution. I think more motivation for
your current design should be shared, because I do not
understand advantage of your solution.</p>
