Hi, I'm a bit confused on how exactly to implement the SRV records. At this moment, it's more an exercise for me, since client software doesn't use them (yet).
I have a CALDAV server running on a vhost (apache config). Currently, DNS looks like this: caldav CNAME server server A 1.2.3.4 AAAA dead:beef:cafe::1 So in fact, I'm already abusing CNAME to map a service to a host. This is convenient, since the IP is only specified once. (So if it changes, there is no risk of overlooking an entry) The trouble starts when adding SRV records. Spontaneously, I'd add _caldav._tcp SRV 10 10 80 caldav However, RFC2782 explicitly states that: the name MUST NOT be an alias Which would require me to change DNS to look like: caldav A 1.2.3.4 caldav AAAA dead:beef:cafe::1 server A 1.2.3.4 server AAAA dead:beef:cafe::1 _caldav._tcp SRV 10 10 80 caldav In this configuration, the server's IP is present multiple times, which will lead to mistakes in the future. I can't let the SRV-record point directly to "server" either, since the vhost-configuration needs the correct Host:-HTTP header. Or am I missing something?
