Does iChat support DNS SRV records?
(Cross-posted from the iChat AV forum)
Hey all,
I'm trying to integrate iChat (among other XMPP-aware clients) into a jabberd server environment. Our DNS is run by BIND 9, and I added the following:
xmpp-client.tcp.mydomain.com SRV 0 0 5222 jabber.mydomain.com.
These changes applied just fine, and I can dig the results. I then try removing my explicit server declaration in iChat's account settings, and it auto-fills the field with 'mydomain.com' and then fails to connect. I was able to do the same with Gaim, so it appears its a limitation of iChat. Does anyone know if iChat is SRV record aware? I'd assume it is, since I believe Apple's iChat-Server handles itself through DNS SRV records.
