-Consider the following snippet in `~/.ssh/config`:
-
-        Host foo
-        HostKeyAlias bar
-
-for a host which is *not* participating in the monkeysphere.
-
-For such a host, when using `monkeysphere-ssh-proxy-command`, the
-public keyservers will be queried on each attempted ssh connection
-(even after a successful connection).
-
-This appears to be because:
-
-* `ssh` itself will write a line to `~/.ssh/known_hosts`, but it will
-  be labeled with `bar` because of the `HostKeyAlias`. 
-
-* `monkeysphere` won't be able to find any mention of it in the
-  keyring (it's not in the monkeysphere)
-
-* `monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand` won't be able to find it in the
-  `known_hosts` file because it looks for `foo`, which is never
-  matched.
-
-excessive keyserver querying is bad behavior, because it causes delays
-for the users, and puts excessive load on the public keyserver
-infrastructure.
-
-How can we resolve this?
