SRV record is a specification of DNS that assigns server location and port number for a service.
The record has 5 parts:
- service name (host) – has three parts separated by stops: service, protocol, domain name;
- priority – priority of the server, smaller number means higher preference;
- weight – relative weight of record for the records with the same priority, larger number means greater chance to be selected;
- port number (port);
- hostname (target) – server providing the specific service.
Example:
| _service._proto.domain. | TTL | IN | SRV | priority | weight | port | target |
| _autodiscover._tcp.zone.ee. | 3600 | IN | SRV | 0 | 0 | 443 | mailconfig.zone.eu. |
