What's this?

The keyserver says "Cuidado, hay Llamas! (proxy1.fll.fl.us.distributed.net)"
Funny.

Ahh... you must be pointing to the old Macnn proxy server which went AWOL and are now seeing messages coming back from the distributed.net proxy servers.

Pretty funny messages coming through if you look back through your logs!

Cheers.

If we have a network each server can have its own message, and you can have those too.
right now I have it set to "welcome to the team macnn proxy server" because rc5.macnn.com actually points to only one server, and it's run by the fine folks at macnn

If we setup a small network, we can have some custom messages.
I have no problem with each server identifying itself by its message.

It comes from a great Monty Python skit, where John Cleese does theis bad Spanish/English translation about Llamas. It goes on to warn: "If you see LLamas in the water, shout out 'Look out! There are Llamas!'"

Well worth digging up at the video store, if you can find it.

Heh. Thanks.

I haven't watched all the Monty Python DVDs my friend has, but I'm sure we'll get around to it

My Dad owns the complete DVD collection of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Very. Very silly stuff.
