Sadly SRV records don't help quite as much as you might like. There are =

Admittedly they drop AFSDB records on the floor too, but that's not much =
comfort.

My previous employer found that they only way to ensure that academics =

CellServDB. And its doing that that means you want IP addresses for your =
DB servers that never change.
