I recommend emailing them to two or more keyservers.  Email is queued
and will work even if a particular keyserver is unreachable via HKP at
the exact moment you try to submit a key to it.  If you want
confirmation of the add, use a subject of "ADD" and email the key to one
or more pks servers.  If you don't want confirmation, use a subject of
"INCREMENTAL" and email the key to one or more pks/onak/OpenPKSD/SKS
servers.

To start, email ASCII-armored keyblocks to pgp-public-keys AT
keyserver.kjsl.com with a subject of ADD and a From: address
that will reach you.  Then, ask for permission to email other
keyservers (and their sync. addresses) on the pgp-keyserver-folk
mailing list:

  http://lists.kjsl.com/pipermail/pgp-keyserver-folk/ (backup list)
  http://lists.alt.org/pipermail/pgp-keyserver-folk/  (currently broken)

NB:  By emailing keys, you can also make them available on keyserver.net:

  http://www.keyserver.net/
