-ProxyCommand scripts. All it does is first runs
-
-.B monkeysphere update-known-hosts HOST
-
-and then
-
-.B exec nc HOST PORT
+ProxyCommand scripts. It first tests to see if the host is in the
+known_hosts file. If it's not, the CHECK_KEYSERVER variable is set to
+true and "update-known_hosts" is run for the host to check for a host
+key for that host. If the host is found in the known_hosts file,
+CHECK_KEYSERVER is set to false and "update-known_hosts" is run to
+update from the local keychain.
