An SRV record (Service Record) is a type of DNS record that specifies information about available services. It defines the location, i.e., the hostname and port number, of servers for specified services. When you perform an nslookup using our SRV Record DNS Lookup tool, it queries DNS servers to retrieve the SRV records associated with the specified service domain.
Simply enter the service domain you wish to check (e.g., _sip._tcp.example.com), and our tool will provide you with the SRV records associated with it. This allows you to perform a comprehensive DNS lookup and ensure that your service configurations are correct.
A SRV (Service) record is used to define the hostname and port number of servers providing specific services, such as VoIP or messaging services. It allows clients to find the services for a domain without hardcoding the server information. SRV records are critical in applications like SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), LDAP, and other services requiring service discovery.
Performing a DNS check for SRV records helps ensure that your services are correctly advertised and reachable by clients, which is essential for the proper functioning of network services.
