:Thanks. Is it also possible to have more than one set of keys per

Yes. Take a look at ssh's -i option. You can also automate the
selection by having a user-local configuration file that specifies
which identity file to use with which host (at least that's my read
from the manual page, I haven't actually tried to do that).
