Re: http://outel.org/mix/minion/

<http://outel.org/mix/minion/>

This >NOT< the preferred URL for the minion stats.  Please
change all occurrences of this to:

<http://privacy.outel.org/minion/>

This includes the mixminion home page.  It has the wrong URL.

If people have a cron entry to get the stats please corrent them.

Maybe a FAQ, but why do quite some servers (but not all) have 2
ServerDesc's listed?

Because of key rotation.  When a server is going to change its key
soon, it sends the directory server a server descriptor including the
new key, and the dates over which the new key is valid.  The directory
server includes the old and the new descriptors until the old one has
expired.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the server descriptors have
different lifetimes (Valid-After and Valid-Until dates), and different
keys.
