High rate of updated keys

[Andrew Gallagher]

Hi, all.

I'm noticing recently a large number of updated keys in pgpkeys.eu 
(hockeypuck), on the order of several thousand per hour. The total 
number of keys is not increasing unusually, just the modifications. I 
notice that both andreas-puls servers and utwente.nl seem to be 
experiencing similar activity (an order of magnitude less, at tens to a 
few hundred per hour), while other pool members seem unaffected (single 
digits of updates per hour). Can I ask hockeypuck operators what filter 
values they are using? pgpkeys.eu is currently set to:

maxPacketLength=65536
maxKeyLength=1048576

This is more generous than the defaults, which makes me wonder if the 
root problem is that it is allowing abusive keys that others are 
filtering out.

On a possibly related note, sks.pgpkeys.eu (sks) is timing out 
repeatedly during incoming bulk requests from its recon peers. It seems 
to manifest as "End_of_file" errors in the SKS logs as the reverse proxy 
gives up. Has anyone else seen similar issues?

Thanks,
A
