An SRV (service location) record directs queries to hosts NIOS-X Servers that provide specific services. For example, if you have an FTP server, then you might create an SRV record that specifies the host NIOS-X Server which provides the service. You can specify more than one SRV record for a hostNIOS-X Server. For more information about SRV records, see RFC 2052, A DNS RR for specifying the location of services (DNSSRV).
To create an SRV Record, complete the following:
- From the Cloud Services Infoblox Portal, click ManageConfigure > Networking -> DNS -> Zones.
- Click the DNS view.
- Click the zone.
- Click Create -> Record and select SRV Record from the drop-down list.
