Such a services has existed for some time now - called the PGP.com
Global Directory (keyserver.pgp.com). Started in 2005 I believe.
This service does not exchange keys with the SKS keyservers.
There's a FAQ on https://keyserver.pgp.com/vkd/VKDHelpPGPCom.html

However, I do not know many people who actively use this service.
Maybe someone else on this list knows more about the service and
can comment on the advantages and disadvantages of this keyserver?
