Hi All,<br>
<br>
I had some off-list exchanges with Petr Spacek on this but am still
trying to work out the correct syntax.<br>
I have 2 hosts:<br>
<br>
- foo1.example.com<br>
- foo2.example.com<br>
<br>
and would like to create a round-robin DNS srv record for both
called foo.example.com<br>
<br>
I already have DNS entries for both hosts in IPA:<br>
<br>
# ipa dnsrecord-show example.com foo1<br>
Record name: foo1<br>
A record: 10.0.0.1<br>
# ipa dnsrecord-show example.com foo2<br>
Record name: foo2<br>
A record: 10.0.0.2<br>
<br>
I'd like to get the correct syntax for adding the srv record for
foo.<br>
My understanding is that it should be something like this:<br>
<br>
# ipa dnsrecord-add example.com _foo.tcp --srv-rec="0 50 53
foo1.example.com"<br>
Record name: _foo.tcp<br>
SRV record: 0 50 53 foo1.example.com<br>
# ipa dnsrecord-add example.com _foo.tcp --srv-rec="0 50 53
foo2.example.com"<br>
Record name: _foo.tcp<br>
SRV record: 0 50 53 foo2.example.com<br>
<br>
which seemed to be added ok but on second glance I think not:<br>
<br>
# host -t srv _foo.tcp.example.com <br>
_foo.tcp..example.com has SRV record 0 50 53
foo1.example.com.example.com.<br>
_foo.tcp..example.com has SRV record 0 50 53
foo2.example.com.example.com.<br>
<br>
In looking over the description of <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRV_record"> rfc2782</a> it
appears the IPA syntax is a little different,<br>
and the documentation is scarce so admittedly I'm taking a swag at
this ;-)<br>
<br>
I can do this fine without srv but don't have enough familiarity
with DNS srv here.<br>
Can anyone help clarify what I'm missing? I'd like to have equal
weighting, priority<br>
to both hosts - I'm assuming the port (53) is correct for DNS here
as well.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much,<br>
<br>
