Isn't this what the SRV[1] record type is designed to solve generically?

Getting adoption at the client end is likely the limiting factor.

Yes it is. For some reason supporting SRV for HTTP is too hard https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14328

It looks like one of those bugs requesting a new feature that sits there for years until Chrome implements the same feature (in a Google-specific partial way). Only then Mozilla rushes to implement it, but at that point it is too late and Google takes all the merit for leading the web forward.

For gods sake. Open since 1999!?

This bug/request has been sitting since last century.
