1. On the source server, run "ssh-keygen -t rsa" (for an RSA key; man ssh-keygen for alternate keys). Hit
enter at each of the prompts. A file called "id_rsa.pub" will be located in your .ssh directory.
2. Copy the id_rsa.pub file to the three (or more) target servers and append it to the target server's authorized_keys file, located in the .ssh directory.
Note: This isn't ideal WRT security since if someone gains access to the source server, they then have access to all the others.
You can also use ssh-agent. I haven't used it so I can't be much help there. Man should work though

ssh-argv0
SSH-ARGV0(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ARGV0(1)
NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling
SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command]
hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name]
[-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]
DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is
equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally.

See ssh(1).
FILES
See ssh(1).
