that's not really allowed... it could be done, but it would be a kludge...
however, it may not be necessary:
The public key method is similar to RSA authentication described in the
previous section except that the DSA algorithm is used instead of the
patented RSA algorithm. The client uses his private DSA key
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa to sign the session identifier and sends the result to
the server. The server checks whether the matching public key is listed
in $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys2 and grants access if both the key is found
and the signature is correct. The session identifier is derived from a
shared Diffie-Hellman value and is only known to the client and the serv-
er.
