How to create an SRV record
An SRV record provides information about web-based services and is most commonly used for SIP services and Minecraft. SRV records use a special naming scheme that includes the service, the protocol, and the name of the domain.
Example: _sip._tcp.goosehollow.design. would be the SRV record for SIP requests for “goosehollow.design”.
