Thank you for replying and the server info. In the options file, there is a
command to list the keyservers.

   $ host -l pgp.net | grep www

I have tried this and got a long list of servers along with the some of the
servers you mentioned. Do I need to upload my public key to all these servers
or do the key servers exchange the new/updated keys? The main server I relied
on until now was www.keyserver.net. It looks like you need to add you public
key ID AND the keyserver name as part of the signature. If there is better
and transparent solution, please do let me know.

Thank you once again.
