[BBLISA] Mac users ssh client and changing host keys

Hi folks.

What is the typical way a Mac user uses ssh? Do they use the 
command-line ssh client that comes with the OS, or do they download some 
app analogous to putty on windows?

We plan to renumber all our IP space, which will cause saved ssh host 
keys to become invalid. Is there a well-known procedure or site with 
instructions advising mac users on how to deal with this situation? I 
have found one reference to ssh-keygen -R, and several that recommend 
just deleting .ssh/known_hosts. I'm asking on the list because I'd like 
to get a sense of what is common or best practice.

Thanks,
