I've added your server as a peer. To do the reverse, add the following
line to your SKS membership file:

ams.sks.heypete.com 11370 # Pete Stephenson <address@hidden> 0x85EB9F44

Yes. HKP is a subset of HTTP, and HKPS is just HTTPS. However, in
order for an HTTPS/HKPS server to be part of the SKS keyserver pool,
you'll need to submit a CSR to Kristian Fiskerstrand, who will sign it
with the SKS pool CA (a server using a cert signed from a commercial
CA won't be included in the pool).

Cheers!
