Configure an SRV type

What is an SRV record?

SRV records allow you to define the location of servers for specific services like VoIP, XMPP, or other protocols.

Best Practices

1. Correctly define priority and weight for load balancing
2. Verify that the service name format is correct (_service._protocol)
3. Ensure that the specified port corresponds to the service
4. Keep target server information up to date

   • Protocol: the protocol used (e.g., _tcp)
   • Priority: value from 0 to 65535 (smaller = priority)
   • Weight: value from 0 to 65535 for load balancing
   • Port: the service port
