I wanted to let everyone know what the status is for all the different keyserver addresses Team AnandTech uses for the distributed.net projects (RC5 and OGR).

Recomended addresses
[*]proxy.teamanandtech.com - this should be the most common address. Blocks are sent through one of the pproxies in the round-robin, which each forward their blocks to the main pproxy. If one of the pproxies in the round-robin fails, the others spread the load around.
[*]proxy80.teamanandtech.com - same as above but for clients who need to submit blocks through port 80
[*]proxy23.teamanandtech.com - same as above but for clients who need to submit blocks through port 23
[*]keyserver.teamanandtech.com or core.teamanandtech.com - This is the address of the main pproxy. Use this if you wish to send your blocsk directly to the main pproxy. The risk with this is that if the main pproxy has problems, your clients could run out of blocks.
[*]204.209.128.157 - This is the IP address of the main pproxy. If your firewall requires you to use an IP rather than a DNS name, this would be the IP you use. It is encouraged that you use one of the names if possible, in case the IP addresses ever needs to be changed.

Addresses you should not use (or you should try to change to one of the above if you are currently using):
[*]mika.dhs.org - This address will continue to work for some time (probably a few months), but at some point in the future, it may point at a different address.
[*]teamanandtech.dhs.org - Same as above.
[*]www.teamanandtech.com - This address will definately not be pointing at the main pproxy in the near future

If you are using an address which is not on this list, please post a message here.

What about core.teamanandtech.com? keyserver.teamanandtech.com is just an alias for it...

mindless: yes, keyserver is an alias for core, and core could be used without problems. The only reason I could think of to use keyserver instead of core is if at some point we add more servers and want the main keyserver to be some other box. However, for the forseeable future, core should work fine!

(I've updated the original message to reflect this)
