Quite nice...

Can we have this on a regularly updated basis on e.g.
sks-keyservers.net?
Perhaps also with 7 and 10 connections (or some reasonable numbers).

Not sure if it makes sense to also look at the whole thing with just
IPv4 and v6 connectivity... probably not that much as neither of both is
scheduled to vanish immediately ;)



I'd generally like the idea if people could subscribe to an alerting
system (e.g. also at sks-keyservers.net) which notifies them about
issues with their servers, like:
- falling out for several days or weeks of the pool
- not being accessible anymore
- having failing cross-peerings
- limited connectivity to other peers

Guess that could easily help in avoiding keyservers that break.
I had the same with my old one recently, that it stopped with
reconciliation and had DB issues... or I recently noted the same on
bazon.ru.

Sure, people have their logs,... but to be honest... who looks at them
daily?! ;)



Cheers,
Chris.
