That requirement sounds like a RSA key instead of a DSA/ElGamal key pair. Adding a subkey should meet the customer's needs unless someone in the customer's IT organization doesn't understand the details of OpenPGP very well. Individual subkeys may be specified by adding ! to the key ID, eg. 0xDecafBad! -- John P.
