keys.gnupg.net is pretty new and I configure it manually.  I poll the
keyservers every hour or so to see whether they are still responding and
send a mail if they don't response.  Everything else is done by hand for
now.  Let me know a list of bad SKS vesions and I remove the,s.  Stats
are at http://keystats.gnupg.net .  I guess I hould subscribe to the SKS
list as the old keyserver folks list seems to be dead.

Definitely more stable than any public X.509 infrastructure includig
those which are required by the German tax law for checking qualified
signatures on invoices ;-).


Salam-Shalom,
