Is it possible to use srv lookups, like eg cname. I do not want to
create SRV record, I just want to 'get' the ip addresses, that I would
get vai srv lookup.
SRV records are more than just pointers to a specific server, there is
also the priority and weight that need to be considered at the
application level.
More importantly, SRV records have port numbers. In SIP, which seems to be
the largest current use of SRV, as often as not the port number is different from the default 5060.
SRV really is not like CNAME.
