Since 1.2, the servers have used the standard SRV dns record type to resolve domains into the actual servers that handle jabber. An example of such a record for bind for domain.org would look like: _jabber._tcp IN SRV 30 30 5269 servera.domain.org.
The RFC that describes SRV is: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2052.html The implementation of dialback is based on this document: http://docs.jabber.org/draft-proto/html/dialback.html The SRV lookups are implemented in the "dnsrv" component in the 1.4 server, and dialback is in the "dialback" component.
