+# Automatic key location
+#
+# GnuPG can automatically locate and retrieve keys as needed using the
+# auto-key-locate option. This happens when encrypting to an email
+# address (in the "[email protected]" form), and there are no
+# [email protected] keys on the local keyring. This option takes the
+# following arguments, in the order they are to be tried:
+#
+# cert = locate a key using DNS CERT, as specified in 2538bis
+# (currently in draft): http://www.josefsson.org/rfc2538bis/
+#
+# pka = locate a key using DNS PKA.
+#
+# ldap = locate a key using the PGP Universal method of checking
+# "ldap://keys.(thedomain)".
+#
+# keyserver = locate a key using whatever keyserver is defined using
+# the keyserver option.
+#
+# You may also list arbitrary keyservers here by URL.
+#
+# Try CERT, then PKA, then LDAP, then hkp://subkeys.net:
+#auto-key-locate cert pka ldap hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
