	I'm not sure why you think you would _need_ different
	key[pair]s per host.  I take care not to share the
	same secret with more than one organization.  That way,
	each distinct trust relationship has a specific secret,
	but we, as well as any organization carrying multiple
	zone instances for us, are spared the administrative
	overhead of managing too many secrets.
