The infoblox_srv_record resource corresponds to an SRV record (service location record) in NIOS. An SRV record provides information about a network endpoint (host and port), which provides a particular network service for the specified DNS zone. For more information about an SRV record, refer to Managing SRV Records in the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.

The following table describes the parameters you can define in the resource block of the record:
