	The key servers should replicate their data to one another. I
personally publish my keys to subkeys.pgp.net. The problem you're

primary key. I use a subkey for daily purposes and only bring my primary
key out of the safe when I need to sign a key or issue new subkeys as
per my key usage policy[1].

	Here's all my keys found through the MIT PGP keyserver:
