The only proposal that comes to my mind is to 'fix' this within SKS
itself by adding command-line options and or config-file options.
Apparently there is already ticket:

https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/issues/6/make-directories-better-configurable

Multiple instances could then be setup like .i.e. Tor with
tor-instance-create(8).

But sorry, I am again in no position to help there.
