A Service record (SRV record) is a specification of data in the Domain Name System (DNS) defining the location, i.e. the hostname and port number, of servers for specified services. It is defined in [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2782 RFC 2782].
A Service record ('''SRV record''') is a specification of data in the Domain Name System ('''DNS''') defining the location (i.e. the hostname and port number) of servers for specified services. It is defined in [https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2782 RFC2782].


XMPP often require SRV support by network elements.

The XMPP domain is domain.tld and the principal server is server1.domain.tld which used 50% after server2.domain.tld 30%, server3.domain.tld 10%, server4.domain.tld 10% too, if server1 is down, server2, server3 and server4 will work, if servers 1/2/3/4 are down, backup will work.
