Presumably quite a few of those are due to timing issues and the SKS
keeping an internal record that it synch with the DBstore. I seem to
recall getting out of frequent corruptions by changing the clocksource
at least.

But considering the servers not currently in the pool. Something is
definitely fishy with
keyserver.novomundo.com.br      -8,473
pgp.cert.am                     -9,839
services                       -10,376
keys.fedoraproject.org         -10,980
keys.syn.co.uk                 -27,693
keyserver.nausch.org           -30,241
keyserver.linux.it             -31,107
keyserver.borgnet.us           -90,304
pgp.treefish.org              -133,501
pks.mtholyoke.edu             -267,270
pgp.acm.jhu.edu               -407,059
