Hockeypuck troubles

[Skip Carter]

Last week I had an incident where for some reason hockeypuck ran away and caused
an enormous CPU load (over 25).  I firewalled off exernal HTTP access to my
keyserver and the load eventually returned to normal ( 0.10 ).  

There was nothing in the logfile that I could interpret as troublesome.

After restoring normal access to my server I got several silent crashes of
hockeypuck over the next several days.

Just now the runaway happened again, but I manually intervened before my server 
became unresponsive.  At the moment I am running hockeypuck with my firewall
blocking port 11371.


I tried to put an Apache proxy in front (a la sks) to get more info on whats
going on but hockeypuck ignores the config setting

[hockeypuck.conflux.recon]
 httpAddr="127.0.0.1:11371"

and uses all interfaces as if I set it to httpAddr="*:11371"
