SRV Record



Tags:   

A SRV record called as a Service record provides information on available services.

The SRV record has four fields. The naming convention of the SRV record is unique. Following is the naming syntax:

_<SERVICENAME>._<PROTOCOL>.<DOMAINNAME>

Where,

SERVICENAME is the name of the service

PROTOCOL is the name of the protocol ex: TCP

DOMAINNAME is the name of the domain.

An example would be,

_ftp._tcp.itsyourip.com.

The record itself has four fields in it namely,

1. Priority

2. Weight

3. Port

4. Hostname

An example record would look like the following:

_ftp._tcp.itsyourip.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 10 21 ftp.itsyourip.com.
