SRV records have a port. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRV_record#Record_format The only issue I see is how to distinguish between multiple records with the same name. If you have two SRV records for tf2.example.org, which do they connect to? Or would the Favourites list be an aggregate of all servers of all hosts, regardless?
