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). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6-2 (MingW32) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj1bQuQACgkQUMkt1ZRwL1PhDgCdFeM4cUjkQWTz+0LBN0a5tET3 qLYAmwS/qShr1lGq7DrvdjULTDgTUSkj =NuQr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
