> Generate a separate private key on foo ...
That is a TERRIBLE idea, if foo can be compromised. Even if you secure the private key with a passphrase, it still needs to be loaded into foo's memory, by a binary resident on foo, which can be used to exfiltrate that private key.
If you're confident foo cannot be compromised, then the whole point is moot anyway.
