1) Using PGP and GPG, is it possible to have 2 public rings, one that's
   your personal public ring you read and write to, one that's a read only
   file you'd treat like a keyserver?  We want to do a company wide
   "file" to treat like a key server so that any kind of network outage
   won't take it down.  Not my choice, it's something the guy designing
   the project is looking for.  Everyone submits keys to a central key
   server which outputs to a file which is verified, sanified and rsync'ed
   out to remote mailservers for use.

2) Is it possible to list multiple key servers for gpg so as to have a
   fall back incase one is down or unavailable (as happened to
   www.us.pgp.net recently.

3) Is it possible to find out exactly where a port is being blocked?
   I'm trying to connect to port 25 on atlntap1.adc.nexteldata.net from my
   home but it's timing out.  From work I can connect just fine.  Nextel is
   convinced that my firewall is the cause even though I've tested with the
   firewall completely disabled.  I'd like to tell them exactly what
   machine is blocking my traffic.  Preferably without something
   considered as nasty as nmap that they'd consider a hacking attack.

  P.S. ok, 3 Q's for those counting
