What are you trying to achieve?

Based on your description, anyone who doesn't want to worry about the
bureaucracy simply uses "gpg --keyserver some.public.server --send-key
$keyid" and waits for you to retrieve the key from the public peering
mesh.

Either you have a trusted server of just local keys, or you have a
public server, but you can't have both in one process.

You might have a tool which you run from cron, which checks public
servers for new signatures on existing keys in the private server and
pulls those, so that new signatures can appear locally.  Does that solve
the underlying issue?
