Support for SRV records [dns]
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I was wondering if there is support for srv records.
The use case is an already existing domain with a bunch of services and a separate server that runs lnd
and satdress
for example.
SRV _lightning-address._tcp.example.com --> points to --> mySatdress.otherserver.tld
Maybe not a SRV record, which has a specific format not entirely applicable (PORT, WEIGHT, PROTO, PRIORITY) but maybe a TXT record with a specified format, similar to SPF (Sender Framework Policy).
I've been thinking of this as well. [email protected] assumes the Lightning URL will reside on the A record for domain.com. But similar to MX, you may want to have that data reside somewhere else.
DNS is a more flexible place to specify where the LN URL data will reside or even what it is.
This (a TXT field) would be a significantly better plan as far as I can see than .well-known; I'd welcome it if it's a possibility.
