RFC 5864: DNS SRV Resource Records for AFS

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8553. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document specifies how to use DNS (Domain Name Service) SRV RRs (Resource Records) to locate services for the AFS distributed file system and how the priority and weight values of the SRV RR should be interpreted in the server ranking system used by AFS. It updates RFC 1183 to deprecate the use of the AFSDB RR to locate AFS cell database servers and provides guidance for backward compatibility. [STANDARDS TRACK]
