Yes...at least now it is.  For a very long time, the 'lookup' was pointing
to Brian LaMacchia's keyserver at MIT, but the 'add' was pointing to our
cert server.  This did cause confusion, but was necessary...

The cert server comes with an HTTP gateway: a CGI that interfaces with our
LDAP server.  The initial releases of this CGI didn't support the index
view (only the add and get).  This CGI has since been updated, but it took
our website folks ages to update the page.  The lookup2 problem came out of
that slow upgrading process.  That is now fixed.  The lookup and add now
both interface with the cert server at NAI.
