If you look at your ~/.gnupg/options file, you'll find a brief tutorial
on configuring your keyserver.
Use "host -l pgp.net | grep www" to figure out a keyserver.
I use keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net, which should peer across a number of
servers.
It's _not_ possible to set up multiple keyservers, but I've seen posts
here about setting up a chaching keyserver which will query multiple
hosts.
I've also heard from several people that my sigs are coming across as
broken or invalid. Not sure why this is, they _do_ appear valid to me
here virtually always.
Peace.
