A bunch of these key servers are actually the same machines. certserver.pgp.com = keyserver.pgp.com = pgpkeys.mit.edu. europe.keys.pgp.com = horowitz.surfnet.nl (Randy Harmon and I convinced PGP to put a second seperate key server in the default keys in PGP, which is a good thing.) I believe that there are things in the works to get keyserver.pgp.com sync'd with horowitz.surfnet.nl, which would solve a lot of the problems, because I believe Teun has horowitz.surfnet.nl syncing with just about every other major key server on the net. (Though I could be wrong.) In the mean time, sending your keys to both of those servers will pretty much take care of almost everyone using PGP or GnuPG. - --Len. __ L.
