Just in the case, that there is something like the following in DNS, jabberd

hardly imagine, that this could be really used in DNS):
_xmpp-server._tcp.example.com 3600 SRV 5 0 0 .
_xmpp-server._tcp.example.com 3600 SRV 10 0 5269 s2s.example.com
In that case jabberd 1.4.4 would contact s2s.example.com on port 5269 - while
it shouldn't.
Actually, in that case it probably should, as the usage of the target of
'.' to stop SRV resolution is only applicable if there is only one answer,
assuming I'm reading 2781^H2 correctly.
Attempting to look up an A/AAAA for '.' is wrong though, but it works
because there will never be one for '.'.
