I'd recommend using a keyserver running the SKS code. David Shaw already
got sks.dnsalias.net. There are some other SKS keyservers in operation. I
use keyserver.bu.edu. Another popular alternative is
sks.keyserver.penguin.de.

About a month ago, Bjørn Buerger, from penguin.de, posted a link to stats
collected from several SKS servers. The list was:
	sks.keyserver.penguin.de
	keyserver.bu.edu
	ensemble02.cs.cornell.edu
	keyserver.aarg.net
	calvin.lk.etc.tu-bs.de
	apmsrv01.apm.etc.tu-bs.de
	sks.dnsalias.net
	pks.gpg.cz

ensemble02.cs.cornell.edu is indicated as being experimental, and should
probably be avoided.

The *.keyserver.net servers do not seem to be updating at all. I've sent
signature and UID updates to them for at least a month and only get the
old key when checking.
