Key replacement can be scripted and having one key is not secure. 
Period. What might be a better option is to code the client to allow 
multiple keys. Create profiles that allow you to specify the key you 
want to connect with. SSH will allow you to specify key files(-i 
option), so this shouldn't be too hard to implement.
