+* Currently
random.sks.keyserver.penguin.de seems to be the best address to use. This is a set of SKS
(RFC:2440
, RFC:2440bis
and http://www.nongnu.org/sks/) compatible keyservers advertised using [RoundRobinDNS]
. They
are well
synchronised and support advanced
features such
as photo uids.
!"Other" key servers
These servers (apparently?) don't synchronise with the above.

-* keyserver.net (this is on the [redhat manual|http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/s1-gnupg-export.html] as an example. Interestingly, it says that '' Because most keyservers are synchronized, sending your public key to one keyserver is usually as good as sending it to them all.'' Yet i can't pick up keys from it using the.earth.li. I also can't find keys on it from wwwkeys.nl.php.net -- AlastairPorter
