That used to be recommended because you might need to be able to move
fileservers around easily, but dbservers (in particular the lowest numbered
server) are harder to move around.  SRV records help somewhat with the
dbserver issue, but you still need to use care with respect to that lowest
numbered dbserver to avoid losing the sync site.
