Marc was confused by this so others will probably be as well.
You only need host/athena.dialup.mit.edu keys if the cannonical name
of all your dialups was athena.dialup.mit.edu. I.E. you ahve multiple
machines that have different IPs and share the same cannonical name.
We don't have this at MIT, so you would only need host/vongole.mit.edu
tickets on vongole.
