dk.pgp.net is down for a few weeks while they rebuild a dead server.

Right at the moment, the only keyservers I can really recommend are:

  hkp://keyserver.kjsl.com
  ldap://pgp.surfnet.nl:11370
  ldap://keyserver.pgp.com

Pretty much all of the others suffer from the multiple-subkey
corruption bug or are still non-production test servers.  If your key
only has one subkey, then any of the pgp.net servers will work.
