I actually played a bit more and got this:

Host * IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_d IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Host bitbucket_1 User git HostName bitbucket.org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_d

Host bitbucket_2 User git HostName bitbucket.org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

And from basic testing it seems to actually work, it seems it is the Host * that make sit work and it will actually iterate the keys and try them.

Not sure why this is, any thoughts?
