[Sks-devel] keys.gnupg.net anomaly

[Kiss Gabor (Bitman)]

I found requests for https://keys.gnupg.net/ in my Apache logs
on keys.niif.hu. Of course they were unsuccessful because
my HTTP daemon is not set up to provide this virtual site.

In the DNS we can see this:
keys.gnupg.net          CNAME   pool.sks-keyservers.net

Phil Pennock writes on http://sks.spodhuis.org/:
| End-users should use a pool definition, such as keys.gnupg.net which will
| alias into an operational pool.

So this seems to be a well known situation but I don't believe
it would be a wise thing.
Google is full of complaints about "unreachable" or "non functional"
keys.gnupg.net. The reason is above.

What do you think, folks?
