ArticlesThe SRV record contains essential information about a domain, including the hostname, port names, and protocol details for a specific service.
It is commonly used when configuring SIP or third-party services.
This record aids clients in efficiently accessing the location and the appropriate server for their needs.
The traffic is generally distributed among different ports to balance the load on a website. [
Port numbers are analogous to IP addresses and are used to specify the port where the traffic should be redirected.
Each type of request is assigned to a dedicated server to handle the multiple simultaneous requests received by the website.
By using the SRV record, data can be channeled and traffic can be effectively distributed among different ports.
Example: _http._tcp.example-1.com.
- _http denotes the protocol name.
- _tcp denotes the type of protocol used.
- Example-1.com. denotes the host or domain name.
