Unfortunately, http://213.133.99.198:11371/pks/lookup?op=stats shows
linux-geeks.de is currently unsynchronized (missing ~5000 keys).  Also,
http://67.66.94.243:11371/pks/lookup?op=stats shows dannyj.dynip.com
hasn't synchronized for even longer (missing ~25000 keys).

(Fortunately, submitting keys/updates to either of these two servers
will email them to keyserver.kjsl.com (also subkey safe), which will
propagate them to the rest of the keyserver network (without photos).)
