Looks like its using multiple A records; $ host hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net has address 18.9.60.141 hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net has address 18.191.65.131 hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net has address 37.191.226.104 hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net has address 92.43.111.21 hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net has address 193.164.133.100 hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net has address 216.66.15.2 hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net has IPv6 address 2001:470:1:116::6 hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net has IPv6 address 2600:1f16:41e:bd0a::73:6b73 hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net has IPv6 address 2a01:4a0:59:1000:223:9eff:fe00:100f hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net has IPv6 address 2a02:c205:3001:3626::1 For an ugly hack you could test these to find one that works, then add that one to your /etc/hosts file. Perhaps there's a hostmas...@hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net you could notify to fix it?
