   Ah, good. I sit corrected. So now all we have to do is:
   
   a) get it back onto port 80 (both clients and keyservers)
   b) add HTTP proxy support 
   
   (Both of these are implementation details :-)
   
Indeed. There's no reason it can't be on any port whatsoever.

Now, with 5.5, we have an ldap server, which will make things a lot easier.
We support the old HTTP one, but the ldap one is the way to go.
