Usage
SRV records are common in conjunction with the following standardized communications protocols:
- CalDAV and CardDAV
- Client SMTP Authorization
- DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD)
- IMPS
- Kerberos
- LDAP
- SIP
- XMPP
In Microsoft Windows 2000 clients use SRV records to find the domain controller for a given service. SRV Records are also used by Outlook 2007, 2010 and Macintosh 10.6 mail to locate the Exchange Autodiscover service.
A registry of service names used by SRV records and protocols is maintained by IANA and is defined in RFC6335.

Famous quotes containing the word usage:
“I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
“Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
