Re: [Sks-devel] pgp.mit.edu upgraded to SKS 1.1.4

[Jonathon Weiss]

Kristian,

Thanks for the review.  I considered the possibility of a load-balanced
pair of key servers prior to this upgrade, but decided that the
resources for that are not (yet) justified.

I actually intentionally left the ProxyVia setting off until the new
machine had a chance to burn in.  I expect I'll add it in a week or so.
That raises a question though.  What order of magnitude of additional
queries should I expect upon joining the pool.
