Is it not time to extend the list of initial servers then?
$initial_servers = array("keys2.kfwebs.net", "zimmermann.mayfirst.org", "keyserver.kim-minh.com",
"pgp.circl.lu", "keys.niif.hu", "sks.b4ckbone.de", "keyserver.opensuse.org");
keyserver.dobrev.eu is peered to two of them and yet dropped from the list.

I happened to check the pool just now, and there are only three nodes

1 pgpkeys.uk[@]
2 sks.pod01.fleetstreetops.com[@]
3 sks.pod02.fleetstreetops.com[@]
Looking at the cached metadata it appears that when the spider ran,
pod02.fleetstreetops nodes was unavailable, as was pgpkeys.co.uk (the
domain registration has expired).
pod01.fleetstreetops does not advertise any peers, and of pgpkeys.uk's
peers, only pgpkeys.eu (which does not yet pretend to be SKS) and
pgp.surf.nl (which is several thousand keys behind) were reachable. At
second remove, of surf.nl's peers only keys.andreas-puls.de was
available, but was just outside the reduced max delta of 300, and it
does not advertise any further peers. So the spiders ran dry at this
point.
This demonstrates that connectivity is a serious issue with the pool
right now. A few key nodes going down can orphan all other nodes, no
matter how well-behaved.
It should probably also be noted that pod02.fleetstreetops has been
the only node in the HKPS pool now for some time. This certainly can't
be good for its load.
