It's an HTTP request, against the regular HKP service, just on a special
endpoint; eg:

  http://sks.spodhuis.org:11371/pks/lookup?op=stats

The only thing different about this is `op=stats` instead of `op=index`
or whatever.

This is considered public information, because your peers expect to be
able to look at this to diagnose problems with the peering: your
problems can become their problems, if you fall too far behind.

Kristian has some PHP scripts which do the work for the
sks-keyservers.net pages; I have other tooling, others will use
browsers.  Kristian's service is considered "canonical" by most, but is
not in any way using privileged access.

If you start blocking "unusual" requests for the stats which aren't at
DoS levels then you'll upset your peers and lose peering.

What is the process for the keyserver status page generation 
(https://sks-keyservers.net/status/)
 i.e., what scripts/queries are executed against the individual keyserver? How 
often?
Campus is setting up Palo Alto firewalls with traffic/application inspection 
and profiling
