No, reusing the same IP for different throwaway hosts.

Well unless those hosts are reusing the same host key then there won't be any "other host names/addresses already associated with the key", so you can't end up with a list containing hundreds of entries.

(And if they *are* reusing the same key, then you still won't end up with such a list unless you connect via a new throwaway DNS name for each one instead of using a fixed hostname or the unchanging IP address.)

Uh, the hosts will have different keys but the same IP. So you get the dreaded "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED" message from SSH each time you try to connect.
