Well, the whole point of the hash is to prevent anyone with access to
the file from learning the hosts / ip addresses, so I imagine that
figuring them out yourself is a non-trivial task. For any name /
address you think might be in there, just do the 'ssh-keygen -R' thing,
and that will remove it if it's indeed there.
