I have asked our resident keyserver expert Teun on this matter. He is not that enthousiastic about both pools. As an example, he gives http://sks-keyservers.net/status/ where a lot of servers still use 1.0.10 which has a serious search bug. He prefers to use a small set servers that he knows are well-funded (like our pgp.surfnet.nl for which there is a budget to keep it maintained). I'm thinking that changing to 'pool.sks-keyservers.net' will in any case not make matters worse. So perhaps we can do that. Thijs
