Comment (by ilf):

 Documenting gnupg --keyserver-options no-try-dns-srv: it's given to the
 keyserver helper (gpgkeys_hkp), which polls the SRV record _pgpkey-
 http._tcp.KEYSERVERNAME (or _pgpkey-https._tcp.KEYSERVERNAME) to find out
 the real host and port. This is the code:

 1.4: http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-
 bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gnupg.git;a=blob;f=keyserver/gpgkeys_hkp.c;hb=refs/heads
 /STABLE-BRANCH-1-4#l884
 2.1: http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-
 bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gnupg.git;a=blob;f=keyserver/gpgkeys_hkp.c;hb=refs/heads
 /STABLE-BRANCH-2-0#l884

 Werner Koch sais, it's currently missing in 2.1, but he will work on it
 soon.
