Hi,

that was exactly the same what thought of. I'ld just go a little step
further to xml, so machines could parse it more easily.

Maybe something like

<dump>
        <hostname>keyserver.kim-minh.com</hostname>
        <count>201</count>
        <files>
                <file>
                        <name>sks-dump-0000.pgp</name>
                        <checksum
type="md5">cb89d21aa7e8df0902571a37f3b0625e322059ef8a619961b6b5b9be7a82799a</checksum>
                        <keys>15000</keys>
                </file>
        ...
        </files>
        <date>
                <start>....</start>
                <end>...</end>
        </date>
<dump>



cheers,
