No.  I would check to see if you have a firewall or similar blocking the
HKP port, as it works here and remotely:
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net
--recv-keys 2B8638D0
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring
--secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg
--keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver
keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net --recv-keys 2B8638D0
gpg: requesting key 2B8638D0 from hkp server
keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net
gpg: key 2B8638D0: public key "QuickBuild Trinity Desktop Environment"
imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)

That's your ISP rerouting you when it received the error page from my
server.  Certain ISPs do that and I find it quite annoying actually!

Yes, the QuickBuild certificates are self signed.  Yes, I should do
something about that! :)

The QuickBuild system is on that IP address, yes.

No idea, sorry.  I use the HKP system exclusively here.
