Hi,

I made a feature request for SRV records to be added to the MDNS service
some years ago. As people on this list probably know, they would allow
people to map services to ports on the domain and carry out domain-level
load balancing. As you told me, I was in the minority in requesting this
feature.

However things seem to have changed now, as Google is using SRV records to
allow Google App users to map their talk service. This allows non-Google
users to use the groups chatting/conferencing facilities.

We have just had a request from one of our clients to add these records and
will have to inform him this functionality is not available with the MDNS
service. I'm sure this will end in him moving the DNS away to the many
providers who have already introduced SRV.

Considering Google's adoption of this record and the increasing number of
people turning to Google Apps, could we possibly get some movement on this
feature request?

Best Regards
