- From gpg's man entry:

   --no-auto-key-retrieve
	This option disables the automatic retrieving of
	keys from a  keyserver  while  verifying  signa-
	tures.  This  option  allows  you to keep a key-
	server in the options file for  the  --send-keys
	and --recv-keys commands.

HTH, though I suspect it's not quite what you were looking for
