] However, you would need a protocol="tcp" flag along with your
] port="80" in your example. :) There are some details that
] need to be hashed out, but I like the general idea. Oops ... it would look more like this: _http._tcp.*.com IN SRV ... in other words, for every domain q.com, synthesize a record _http._tcp.q.com A client asking for the HTTP SRV record for a non-existant domain would get sitefinder; a client asking for the A would get NXDOMAIN.

djbdns has a reputation among some as having performance and scalability problems. I have worked with djbdns extensively and am aware of no such issues. I'd like to hear from people who think there are problems so that either I can try to set the record straight or I can discover problems that I've been unaware of. |
