It indicates that *A* keyserver's network interface is up (in this case
pks.aaiedu.hr) and one is not guaranteed of getting the exact same keyserver on
subsequent attempts. It does not indicate that the SKS software is running.

pool.sks-keyservers.net is a DNS-round-robin of 24 reachable and
well-synchronized SKS keyservers

$ nslookup pool.sks-keyservers.net

Name:    pool.sks-keyservers.net
Addresses:  213.239.212.133, 216.215.6.39, 221.133.213.196, 62.48.35.100
   64.71.173.107, 66.163.18.195, 84.215.42.117, 86.59.21.34, 91.189.94.173
   129.128.98.22, 161.53.2.216, 193.174.13.74, 193.196.36.4, 194.171.167.147
   195.113.19.83, 202.191.99.51, 209.62.30.226, 212.247.204.136, 213.146.108.162
   213.239.210.122

The list changes twice a day and includes a random selection of 24 servers from
the pool. At the present there are 35 servers in the pool.

pool.sks-keyservers.net is a good choice for general use. I like something a bit
more static when debugging which is why I specified single servers.
