No, I just meant that it would update a stored copy, and then use that to respond to xmlrpc requests for the next hour or so, although there are other reasons... for instance alice and bob want to share secrets, so they agree that they will use the output of karen's key server for a specific hour or minute as the input for a key-stream generating algorithm, given that eve has to catch the output of not only karen's key server but also that of all her kousins (karl,kari,kevin....) it does become practically difficult for eve to find the keys, not impossible, merely improbable.
