We have a situation here where we have a lot of hosts and
a lot of users with potential access to those hosts. Copying
keys around to authorized_keys files is a major pain. Is there
such a thing as a key server for ssh?

Yes. Neil Dunbar has a set of patches that allow OpenSSH to use a
X.509 PKI with certs served from an LDAP server. His patches are
available from
