Well, seems SRV records are causing more issues than they are useful. They only ever make sense for the geographical sub-pools in order to distributed the traffic using weights there, for the rest of the pools they are a noop since allowing specific ports etc is a bad idea overall.

This is further complicated by gnupg 2.1 using _hkp , whereby the consensus in previous implementation has been _pgpkey-http._tcp. So where SRV is implementere it is using the original identifier.

Not having SRV should certainly not result in failure of operation when A and AAAA records are returned though..
