Hi Slavko,

I'll try to share the little knowledge I have.

First of all, I did the easiest way in DNS:
openpgpkey  IN  CNAME   wkd.keys.openpgp.org.

That way, I don't have to worry about it. However.

My knowledge is the later one. But it might be that you could implement
both solutions. Other way, it would not work relyable with the DNS CNAME
solution. So I think, the wiki seems to be wrong in that case.

And yes, the subdomain is important.

Beside that, I implemented the DNS key lookup in the way:
4iwmtum663r8xnewtn7ugkdixws1d1n8._pka   IN      CERT    IPGP 0 0 FIXUykKVLJSbF1Nis3nQsG9OIK8caHR0cDovL3d3dy5ldGhnZW4uY2gvfmtsYXVzLzc5RDBCMDZGNEUyMEFGMUMudHh0

However, that makes only sense with DNSSEC.

Maybe Werner is reading this and can answer the questions. I'll xpost
to gnupg-users ML.

Regards
   Klaus
