I don't have a file by that name, but assuming it's like most ssh
known_hosts files, it's just a text file with exceptionally long lines.
Easy to edit as long as you have a text editor which can deal with long
lines ('vi' works great).

As far as an automated process is concerned...

  $ cat file-containing-new-hostkeys >> /etc/ssh/known_hosts
