DNS SRV Resource Records for AFS
RFC 5864, “DNS SRV Resource Records for AFS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2010 by R. Allbery. It updates RFC 1183. It has since been updated by RFC 8553. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies how to use DNS (Domain Name Service) SRV RRs (Resource Records) to locate services for the AFS distributed file system and how the priority and weight values of the SRV RR should be interpreted in the server ranking system used by AFS. It updates RFC 1183 to deprecate the use of the AFSDB RR to locate AFS cell database servers and provides guidance for backward compatibility. [STANDARDS TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
