No, Sergio is partly right. Very old versions of jabberd14 used _jabber. However the latest release (1.6, released 2006) uses _xmpp-server, and as far as I can tell it was supported all the way back in 1.4 (~2004). In practice I have never encountered a server that used solely _jabber for SRV lookups. Regards, Matthew
