[Sks-devel] Re: Key strangeness

[Yaron Minsky]

Hmmm.  I am confused.  When I query 0x3A546EC2, I get the right key. 
Again, this is from sks.dnsalias.net.  Here's the URL I tried:

http://sks.dnsalias.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x3A546EC2&op=vindex

Any examples of keyserver weirdness would be more useful if they were
accompanied by the actual URLs that elicited the odd behavior.
