For OpenSSH, take a look at the StrictHostKeyChecking, CheckHostIP, and
VerifyHostKeyDNS options in the ssh_config man page.  You can either set
them in ~/.ssh/config or put them on the command line with the -o
option.

I have 'CheckHostIP no' and 'VerifyHostKeyDNS yes' in my ~/.ssh/config
file and I can connect to my DHCP'ed hosts without getting warned about
host key mismatches.
