They are used to establish connections between a service and a hostname. When an application needs to find the location of a specific service, it will search for a related SRV record. If it finds one, it will sift through the list of services and their connecting hostnames to find the following: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hostname<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ports <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"#priority\">Priority<\/a> and <a href=\"#weight\">Weight&nbsp;<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IP Addresses, if relevant<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating an SRV record can potentially save you time later on. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a compatible new email client will pull your ports and settings preferences from the SRV record if you have one configured.
