Yeah, exactly. That's why I suggested he look into how it works (since "the idea ... seems foreign" to him).

I didn't mean to suggest that they had some revolutionary new unique way of handling service discovery or even that they were the first. I think maybe you misinterpreted or misunderstood my intentions.

It’s all good, I got what you meant :)

LDAP and Kerberos of all implementation are probably the most common use case for SRV records, most people probably don’t even know it. Real shame, in many ways I wish A/AAAA records weren’t even a thing for the vast majority of services (HTTP, I’m looking at you!)
