I would strongly suggest that you expend effort on hastening the upgrading
of keys.

http://web.mit.edu/achernya/Public/thesis.pdf describes much of the work
done to support rxkad-k5 for OpenAFS, and has references for the extreme
weakness of single-DES long-term keys.  These keys can be cracked in under
a day at a cost of less than 100 USD.  I expect you value your data more
highly than that.
