 Well, it's a _key_ server. It serves _keys_. Keys usually have
 the key owner's name and email addresses associated with it.
 If that's not what you want, I don't understand your question.

Ok that worked, but what if I want to have it retrieve a email address
or last name...like mine? will it work then as well, why is the options
file not responding to that request, baffles me...

Put the line "keyserver clug.chicago.il.us" in $HOME/.gnupg/options

If that doesn't work, does the following command work?

$ gpg --keyserver clug.chicago.il.us --recv D75E0A36

That command works for me.

what is the syntax for specifying a keyserver in the options file

i want to access http:///clug.chicago.il.us:11371
and have entered it this way:
http:///clug.chicago.il.us:11371 &
clug.chicago.il.us:11371 &
clug.chicago.il.us 

but no luck, thus far
