This is what SRV records are for, yes.  Ideally, the CellServDB on clients
is for legacy use with old cells that don't have SRV records in place (and
to some extent is probably part of "don't make IBM unhappy").  The server
CellServDB is a different issue, I think, but only relevant to database
servers which need to know about each other.
