SSHFP records allow SSH host keys (see [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4253 RFC 4253]) to be published via the Domain Name Service. An interesting benefit is that, should SSHFP lookup be the only allowed method of authenticating a host key, keys can be revoked by removing them from DNS. They are defined in [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4255 RFC 4255]. It is resource record (RR) type 44 (0x2C).
