Hello,

What's the DNS Record for XMPP on DNS Manager, please?


TIA.

TIA.
According to this page, SRV. It includes how to set up for DynDNS, which should be roughly translatable to the Linode DNS Manager.

I've never used XMPP, just going by Google.

Hello,

Yes, I used the default syntax.

But, I'm looking for how to use the _xmpp protocol instead of _tcp or _udp protocols.

XMPP isn't its own transport-layer protocol; it rides over either TCP or UDP (or both?). So, you'll have something like _xmpp._tcp.domain.com and/or _xmpp._udp.domain.com. I don't know the exact syntax, but it's probably something like that.

Hello,

I'm curious about the use of the xmpp protocol on DNS SRV Record at Linode's DNS Manager.


Thanks,
cviniciusm.

cviniciusm: What you need to do is to type "_xmpp-server" or "_xmpp-client" (depending on what exactly it is you're looking to do) as the service, then select "tcp" as the protocol.

This will generate a SRV DNS entry for _xmpp-server._tcp.<domain> pointing to the target you give. Don't forget to change the port as appropriate, too.

[edit: Sorry, didn't realise this was an old thread. Also, I see that "xmpp" is listed in the protocol dropdown now. That seems weird to me; as has been said, XMPP isn't a transport-layer protocol, so how come it's listed?]

Thanks for the reply.
