This way the service check fails whenever the answering server changes. A (far from perfect) solution to this would be to set StrictHostKeyChecking to no for the relevant IP. check_by_ssh however does not seem to honour this setting (not 1.4.15 and below) -- as long as I don't remove the offending key from known_hosts the plugin will time out.

Can't you pass it with the -o option?

 -o, --ssh-option=OPTION
    Call ssh with '-o OPTION' (may be used multiple times) [optional]

This works just like the ssh -o option.
