[tlug] Dealing with a second SSH key

- User-agent: Mozilla-Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 (X11/20080724)
A few years ago I succeeded in successfully creating my first ssh
keypair, and haven't had to touch it since. But I now want to rsync to a
second server (at a completely different domain), and I'm confused about
how I'm supposed to handle the two together. If I do
ssh-keygen -t dsa
I am threatened with overwriting my original keypair. But it also seems
that I can't simply copy the keypair on my first remote server over to
my second remote server (or perhaps I can, and I am doing something
wrong with permissions?). I am an absolute beginner at this.
I can find plenty of ssh keygen howtos and so forth, but I can't seem to
find anything that explicitly tells how to deal with a key for a second
remote server.
Any help would be much appreciated.
