this is the common approach. But instead of preparing these keys for
everyone, you can also adjust /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts on all of the
machines one time and supply there the keys from the other machines
and have there three names per entry for a) the hostname, b) TCP/IP
address and c) FQDN. This file will then be used twice: on the target
machine to allow the source machine to connect, and on the source
machine to avoid the cluttering of the user's ~/.ssh/known_hosts file.
There is a program called ssh-keyscan to collect the hostkeys from
all the machines.
