Hi Robert,

thanks for maintaining the FAQ!

My suggestion for improvement is to mention
  keys.gnupg.net
as a certserver and also mention that because of the round robin
method, someone will sometimes end up with a certserver that is 
temporarily out of order.

I got the question again in the Gpg4win Forum and within Intevation
I get question for nonworking certservers sometimes and DNS takes
a while to hand over a different one. 

BTW: It would be cool to have a page to link to that explains
how the service keys.gnupg.net is run. (There is only
a small section in 
https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/GPG-Configuration-Options.html 
that I've found )

Best,
Bernhard
