The WWW Based PGP 5.0 Key Server System

This uses the new PGP 5.0 compatible server, listening on port 11371.

DNS names are all of the form wwwkeys*.pgp.net where the `*' may be zero or more DNS domain components. There is a generic `find any server' name (wwwkeys.pgp.net), entries for certain regions (eu), entries for some DNS Top Level Domsins (at, ca, ch, cz, de, dk, es, nl, uk and us), and entries for some DNS Sub Domsins (uk: net; us: 1, 2, 3, 4) each of which need to be called on port 11371. E.g. you might call http://wwwkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=index&search=0x4960EA99 -- see Big Brother for status (5 min poll).
