I don't think it can be done without a code change, since that would
defeat most of the point.  You might be able to work around it, though.
You say that ~/.ssh/known_hosts is not persistent, but could you make a
persistent known_hosts file?  If so, you could set the
StrictHostKeyChecking options to "yes" and the UserKnownHostsFile option
to a persistent known_hosts file, which you would have to maintain.  If
the server keys ever change, though, you will have to update the
known_hosts file, or your users won't be able to connect.
