Re: SSH with a central host list?

Try the ssh client from SSH Communications Security (ssh.com):

http://www.mirrors.wiretapped.net/security/cryptography/apps/ssh/SSH/ 
SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.9.exe

or the exact same url: http://tinyurl.com/zmyq

You can save sessions with it, and then select the bookmarks from a  
list.
Should do what you want.

Cheers,
Kai
