[Sks-devel] Network oddities

Hi all,

I've been successfully running keyserver.rainydayz.org for some time
now. I planned to run another keyserver solely on my local network, in
order to be able to take the "backup" machine offline to create keydumps
from, without the need to take the main keyserver down.

I set up sks on a new machine and added references in my membership
files to point to each other.

After updating the membership files I restarted sks on both machines.

After this neither machine received any updates, and subsequently
keyserver.rainydayz.org fell out of the pool. After stopping my backup
keyserver and restoring the membership files keyserver.rainydayz.org
immediately got a bunch of new keys & updates.

Any ideas as to why another keyserver on a local network would cause this?
