        At least as far as the openssh man page goes, it says that you 
can have multiple lines for the same host with different keys.  From
man sshd(8): 


     When performing host authentication, authentication is accepted
     if any matching line has the proper key.  It is thus permissible
     (but not recommended) to have several lines or different host
     keys for the same names.  This will inevitably happen when short
     forms of host names from different domains are put in the file.
     It is possible that the files contain conflicting information;
     authentication is accepted if valid information can be found from
     either file.


        So try putting in entries for each real host under the name of 
the outside firewall host.
