6 years ago Since pretty much all well known GPG key servers are included in the sks-keyserver pool we already use, adding them explicitly is not going to help.
To explicitly support round robin DNS entries like they are provided by the pool in this case, phive as of commit 03dcb6a71fdb3f448733859230b4d0f94217cbe7 manually resolves the Hostname and, if needed, iterates over all IPs in the list before giving up.
Even though the sks-keyservers.net pool already containts of various servers, requests seem to time out every now and then or have general connectivity issues.
Instead of trying the same pool server again and again, phive should iterate to different servers. If that cannot be achieved with sks, we should add other servers manually to our server list.
