Sorry, there is no such thing as exclusion.  Although the DNS round-robin
pool.sks-keyservers.net is composed of a random pick of 20 from all the online
synchronized SKS servers, a server not being in that pool does not mean it no
longer synchronizes. All servers continue to communicate.

pool.sks-keyservers.net is built on top of the SKS keyserver network, not the
other way around.

I prefer keyserver.gingerbear.net, but I'm biased. Or he may paste the key into
the body of an email, *NOT* as an attachment, and send it to
pgp-public-keys at gingerbear.net with the one word subject of ADD.
