Why didn't they use SRV[1] records in DNS to resolve http2 requests? It has so many advantages: * Permitted at the domain apex (yes really! unlike CNAMEs!) * Allow weighted round-robin * Allows lower-priority fallback services * Unusual port numbers no longer required in URIs * Doesn't get confused with non-HTTP services located at the same FQDN. It's the modern way to federate services! And there's very wide DNS server support - everything from BIND to Active Directory. Fortunately the standard (nor as far as I can see, the normative references) doesn't actually say you have to use an A-type record. Unfortunately that will remain the convention unless someone makes this easy but explicit change. I'd get involved but I fear the politics. Would I have any chance of being able to advocate for this change? [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRV_record http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRV_record
