I own a Minecraft Server with a non standard port and i want the user to connect without port. So i tried setting up an A and a SRV Record for my Domain.
A Record:
- join.domainName.xyz
- MineCraftServerIP
SRV Record:
- _minecraft._tcp.join.domainName.xyz
- Priority:0
- Weight:5
- minecraftServerPort
- join.domainName.xyz
if i run nslookup -q=SRV _minecraft._tcp.join.domainName.xyz i get
priority = 0
weight = 5
port = minecraftServerPort
svr hostname = join
but on Minecraft i get "Cant resolve Hostname", if i add the minecraftServerPort behind join.domainName.xyz, it is working, i thought SRV Record can be used to hide the port?
join
and notjoin.example.com
because adding the later will not work, most DNS providers will prevent adding that record. – Simon Hayter♦ Mar 31 '17 at 20:51
