That's even easier and given my experience in adding new options it
should not be very complicated :-)

I have a write up on some key server issues, but I have to rework it a
bit.  The basic idea is to have a fast key storage and use some other
directory service to locate a key by name or email address.  So LDAP
could just map the name to a fingerprint and pgp can then lookup the
required public key data from a distributed keyserver system.  I think
that it should be distributed (and not only replicated) because the
keyserver should check signatures before merging them in and this
takes a lot of time.
