What is the difference between Priority and Weight in SRV records?

Priority determines which server is contacted first (lower numbers have higher priority). Weight is used to distribute traffic proportionally among multiple servers sharing the same priority.

Understanding Your Results

Generates valid RFC 2782 SRV record strings, BIND zone file entries, provider table mappings (Cloudflare, Route 53, GoDaddy), and terminal `dig` verification commands.

Practical Guidance & Next Steps

SRV targets must always be a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) that resolves to an A/AAAA record; IP addresses are strictly prohibited in RFC 2782 SRV target fields.

What is this?

A network administration utility that creates standardized DNS SRV records to define the location and port of specific server services.

How does it work?

1. Pick a preset (Minecraft, SIP, LDAP) or enter custom service details. 2. Enter priority, weight, port, and target hostname. 3. Copy the formatted BIND zone entry or DNS provider table values.

Why use it?

Eliminates syntax errors when configuring game servers, corporate VoIP systems, and directory services.

Technical Scope & Calculation Limitations

Generates RFC 2782 standard SRV records.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. RFC 2782 specifies that the target field of an SRV record must be a valid hostname (FQDN) that resolves to an A or AAAA record. Raw IP addresses are invalid.
