hi gnupg folks--
I just noticed that the keys.gnupg.net pool currently contains
pgp.mit.edu as one of the members.
This keyserver is not properly syncing with the rest of the global pool.
For example, there are keys that have been in the global pool for
several weeks that have not migrated into pgp.mit.edu. As a a result,
people pulling data from this keyserver will be unlikely to receive
updates, re-keying, and revocation events.
The broken sync appears to be bi-directional: people sending their data
to this keyserver will be unlikely to have their updates forwarded to
the rest of the pool (which means their correspondents will fail to get
the updates).
pgp.mit.edu has already been removed from pool.sks-keyservers.net.
I recommend you remove pgp.mit.edu (18.9.60.141) from the keys.gnupg.net
DNS round robin until the server begins re-syncing properly with the
global pool.
Regards,
--dkg
