In my opinion it should. Not supporting weight would mean that actually there's 
no support for SRV records as it's part of the SRV record definition...

Feature #3669: Make puppet honor DNS SRV records

I'd like to be able to define where puppet looks for the master server.

I propose the following:

By default try in the following order:

1. Look for a "_x-puppet._tcp.example.com" SRV record (or any name that you 
think is appropriate, but keep it a SRV record)
2. For backwards compatibility, if no SRV record is present look for 
puppet.example.com as a fallback or any value that is configured in the puppet 
config file

Reasoning:

A System Administrator can easily spread out the load over multiple puppet 
servers in this way or define some split horizon which answers with the 
"correct" hostname to use as a puppet master.

Thanks,
Martin
