Instead of going to that mythical well-connected server (which really
can only be jabber.org in this context), I've got an idea for what
could be done first.  It's very client-intelligence-dependent but
makes sense to me.

1. SRV query to the child domain to which the client computer belongs.
 e.g.  americas.hp.net or hsd1.ga.comcast.net.
2. Recurse downwards till you canna recurse anymore, captain!

Better not recurse forever, or you'll meet something called a spider trap:
  query bogus1.example.com, tells you about bogus2.example.com
  query bogus2.example.com, tells you about bogus3.example.com
  ...

I thought the idea was:
if your full domain is: host1.some.network.example.com, then:
1. check if host1.some.network.example.com is a jabber server
2. else check if some.network.example.com is a jabber server
3. else check if network.example.com is a jabber server
4. else check if example.com is a jabber server
