Simply storing the first hostname used in a dot file for subsequent reuse on client side, would be even easier I guess. That would be basically the same strategy as used by ssh with regard to host keys. It wouldn't even perhaps make protocol changes necessary. But still not a perfect solution... (Remember the times you have delete something from .ssh/known_hosts).
