What SRV Records Do
- Hide the port. Players type `play.example.com` instead of `play.example.com:25566`.
- Hide the real hostname. Players don't see the underlying hosting provider address.
- Enable failover. Multiple SRV records with different priorities give you automatic failover to backup servers.
- DNS propagation. After creating the record, wait 5-60 minutes for DNS caches to update. Test with `dig SRV _minecraft._tcp.play.example.com` or online DNS checkers.
- Port default 25565: if your server runs on 25565 (default), you don't need an SRV record — just point an A/AAAA record directly.
