Hi,

I'm playing around with my WKD setup (guess, why) and encountered the 
error in the subject when doing `gpg -vvvv --locate-external-keys 
erich at eckner.net`. Retrieving via curl and the manually-constructed url 
works fine, also I cannot find any problems in dns on that box. A second 
box shows the same behaviour, but on a third machine, it works. All three 
run the latest arch linux :-/

What can cause a "Connection closed in DNS" error? (Maybe the error 
message can be improved: Doesn't dns use udp by default, which is 
connectionless?)

Cheers,
Erich
