To put in simply: At the moment nobody is going to create a DNS record just to create a TCP connection. Once the following works out of the box on LAN, the problem can be considered solved:
s = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
bind (s, "myApplication1");
...
s = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
connect (s, "myApplication1");
Propagation of the name outside of the LAN may require additional administrative work. I guess nobody will complain about that.
- petersabaini 14y agoSemi-widely used I'd say. XMPP and SIP come to mind... What I like about DNS SRV is that it's standardized and relatively simple to handle, in contrast to some of the other naming schemes out there (eg. CORBA). I agree though that tools / libraries need to get better here.
