Allow multiple host keys
I would like the ability to have both an RSA and an ECDSA host key at the same time, so that my users can connect with either kind of key.
Since turning on FIPS mode, I have noticed a large number of my users are connecting through JSch, which is a client built into the software that is sending us data. JSch only supports ssh-rsa which does not function in FIPS mode. It does, however, support three different ECDSA host keys that would work. However, I would like to keep our existing RSA key in case other users may only be able to use RSA keys.
There is a recent blog post stating that multiple SSH keys are an upcoming feature, but I did not see an existing feature request for it.

Hello Sean,
This is actually in the works currently, though I do not have an estimated release date that I can offer at this time, however I expect it to make it to a release sooner rather than later. This likely worked it's way up through an internal feature request, or had been planned ahead of time by our Dev team (which is why you may not have seen it here) but thank you very much for taking the time to make sure your request made it to our community forum!
