It might well be the same packet grab, but we're not seeing the same
behavior.

You're seeing dirmngr make a single query for an SRV records, and then
giving up when NXDOMAIN comes back.

I'm seeing dirmngr make a single query for an SRV record, and then when
an NXDOMAIN comes back, following up with an A record request.

I have no idea why you're seeing different behavior than i'm seeing.
