Sadly SRV records don't help quite as much as you might like. There are still 
far too many SOHO routers on the market that claim to have a forwarding DNS 
server, but just drop SRV records on the floor. Admittedly they drop AFSDB 
records on the floor too, but that's not much comfort.

My previous employer found that they only way to ensure that academics could 
get access to their files from home was to put entries in the CellServDB. And 
its doing that that means you want IP addresses for your DB servers that never 
change.

Cheers,

Simon
