Re: [Sks-devel] Debian asks package and default paths

[dirk astrath]

Hello,

To run a sks-server accessible via TOR and normal usage don't require to 
run different instances.

A usage, which comes to my mind is to run keyservers for different purposes:

#1 as a normal keyserver for the keyservers pool.
#2 as a special keyserver for a keysigning-party/...

(of course: in this case you need different IP-adresses for both servers 
;-) )

Kind regards,

dirk
