SNI avoidance is a weird one and you are probably right but SNI is only important (hah!) if you consider that we should all be using IPv6 by now and have billions of address per host to play with 8)
The rest of the world gets uptight about TLDs but there is one - relating to ENUM - that no one seems to mention and get upset about. If they did, instead of crapping on about whether Brazil or a US company owned "amazon" for example, then I'll give you (nearly) free telephone calls and a load of big Telcos will implode. Except they wont and the world will move on to the next logical step where all internet connections are no longer considered a sub-function of a telephone connection and the notion of a "leased line" is an anomaly.
Whoops, got carried away there. As you say - SRV should get more love.
- xorcist 9y ago> they are really just TXT with an API No, they're really not. An SRV record points to a hostname, not an arbitrary string. You can do lookups in one RTT, not two.
