SKS OpenPGP Key Server SKS is a new OpenPGP keyserver whose goal is to provide easy to deploy, decentralized, and highly reliable synchronization. That means that a key submitted to one SKS server will quickly be distributed to all key servers; and even wildly out-of-date servers, or servers that experience spotty connectivity, can fully synchronize with rest of the system. Refer to the online references for pointers on downloading a full copy of the public PGP databse (about 2Gb) and on tweaking the your configuration. http://www.keysigning.org/sks/ may help you getting started.
