- qjz 16y agoImagine SmithCo, a family run business where John Smith is the founder, president and CEO; Jane Smith is the accountant and CFO; James Smith is the head of sales; Judy Smith runs quality control and manufacturing; Jeb Smith is the janitor. Someone calls and says, "I want to talk to Smith!" Who gets the call? At least with SRV records, a framework is available for routing based on context. But without them, it doesn't necessarily make sense to establish a default. In a web-centric environment with a single public facing site with low traffic, it might be useful to assign the top level domain an IP address. In more complex environments, it could create as many or more problems than it solves.
