NO, Kristin's script only runs TWICE per day at 10:50 & 20:50 CET, unless he's
working on it and the times are remarkably consistent. I was seeing some double
polling because someone was listing keyserver.gingerbear.net as an alias,
sks.keyservers.net.

You can check with 'grep op=stats db.log|grep 213.161.224.2'. Your timestamps
should be close to 01:55 am 11:55.

That's ~03:50 and ~13:50 everyday US/Central for me. I have cron setup to do
stats for me 5 minutes before (as well as every hour) -- only takes a few 
seconds.

Other hint: grepping recon.log for auth will get you folks trying to peer
without contacting first. Note, because of the weay things work, you may
sometimes get unauthorized message for peer which are in fact authourized, I
just haven't felt like scripting that one yet to filter those out.
