I think this behavior is fine.  A lot of people were coming into
problems by loading keys into servers that weren't properly handling the
round-robin syncronization they were designed for.  This has come up a
LOT for the Engimail addon for Mozilla/Netscape in their mailing list.
In version 1.0.6, the default was to actually disable a default
keyserver lookup.

As long as mandrakesecure.net is permanently kept in the loop, I can't
find any way to complain about this (I've personally tested the
synchronization on at least 5 other recommended servers elsewhere, and
they all worked -- I've been told some servers affiliated with NAI
stopped synchronizing keys, but still allow uploads).
