Isn't necessary to be on the same server. The key can be stored
somewhere
on NFS for example, if you loss the server, they cant access the key
because
server wont have access to local NFS storage.
Another example, can be stored over flash memory and when server is
restarted the monitor guy insert flash memory. It's have so many
variants.
I did not understand what is the point of your comment.
