[off topic] GPG Keys - adding a second uid

Reading recent postings about keys has finally prompted me to actually
create one.  I created one following the instructions[1] and have
submitted it to the mit server.  Now, however, I discovered the
ability to add multiple UID's to a key.  Since I primarily use my
gmail address and not my apache one, I'd like to add it to the key as
well.  So, my question is, if I do add the second UID to the key, is
there a way to get it updated on the public key server?

Thanks,

I think that you just re-load it to the keyserver, and
replace it in the Forrest KEYS files. 

There is recent discussions happening at "site-dev" and
"community" lists.
