I run one of the many keyservers. I have various checks running regularly to make sure everything's fine, both on my own server, some selected other servers, and the pool in general.It's rare to have an issue, and bad servers get taken out the pool within an hour thanks to the pool's automated checks (which are completely separate from my own).

What sort of issues are you seeing? What server are you querying? Where in the world are you located?

There's a bunch of servers out there -- https://sks-keyservers.net/status/ -- but most tend to be in North America and Europe. That might be an issue, depending on where you are.
