From my ~/.gnupg/options:
# GnuPG can import a key from a HKP keyerver if one is missing
# for sercain operations. Is you set this option to a keyserver
# you will be asked in such a case whether GnuPG should try to

# Use "host -l pgp.net | grep www" to figure out a keyserver.
keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net
That lets my system query a keyserver anytime a new key comes along, whether
it be a signed email or whatever. This is how I've gotten all but a very few
of the keys used on this list, including yours if I remember correctly.
