Are both IP addresses valid?  Dose your DNS resolve both?  You can ssh to the IP address instead.  Either that or create secondary DNS names  (aliases) for each IP address.

Simple solution will be to setup an alias for 2x ssh commands, each using a hardcoded IP rather than host -&gt; IP lookup.<br />
<br />
If you ssh to IPs, rather than hosts, no requirement for StrictHostKeyChecking juggling.

I have a DNS entry to host name which resolve to two or more IP address. It seems like we are getting MITM warning due to this intentional configuration. What is the way to overcome this. Should we disable StrictHostKeyChecking but that would not be a good idea. I am wondering what is the recommendations.

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
