I have a .ssh/config that looks like:

Host foo
  User foouser
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa_foo

Host bar
  User baruser
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa_bar


etc. I don't know much about ssh-agent, since I use .ssh/config to take
care of selecting the appropriate key for the host. you can also use
wildcards to specify one setup for several hosts, like:


Host *.foo.bar


Or enumerate them specifically (separate with spaces), like:


Host foo bar baz


Hope this helps.
