Yes, sorry, you're right - this is a valid entry for a SRV record. But still: service discovery is optional. XMPP clients shouldn't stop working when no server record is found. BTW, even if I'm online and a real DNS server is available I'm pretty shure it won't find a xmpp SRV record for localhost - but in this setup twisted.names does work and my client connects to the server. And why does the twisted.names code attempt to query a DNS server on 127.0.0.1? Using 127.0.0.1/53 as a fallback seems like a really bad idea .... > (though, I really didn't expect it to work that way in /etc/hosts) Me neither :-) That file is deinitely not meant for SRV records.
