Don't know about off the shelf, but just looking over the keyserver
spec . . .

You probably could whip up a proxy CGI that passed the lookup to your
real local keyserver and if that didn't return anything then pass it
to the external keyservers.  If you wanted to update the internal
server you could just format an add request using the returned data.


Actually writing this is left as an exercise for the reader. :)
