keys.gnupg.net is just pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de (try http://keys.gnupg.net:11371)

It and keyserver.gingerbear.net are both usually members of the SKS pool (They
may or may not be included in the DNS A record. But checking them right after
checking another SKS server in the pool is likely to produce results.

Many, if not most, recon runs on my server return zero differences, ie, both
servers have _EXACTLY_ the same key database.

Listing just the generic pool.sks-keyservers.net is sufficient. Checking
additional SKS servers in the well-connected group is unlikely to produce
improved results.

The two LDAP PGP.com servers aren't duplicates though. LDAP servers usually
don't synchronize with other servers. I believe these two are the PGP Global
Directory as well as the legacy LDAP server in operation before that.

pgp.mit.edu is a good one to include here. I don't send my keys to it. but
*many* folks still do. Even with loading periodic keydumps from there to the SKS
servers, one may still find keys there that aren't on other servers.

Oh yeah. I wish. I could probably get a Cray in the garage then, huh?
