Confused by the SRV record instructions

Openfire Openfire Support

The admin site tells me that it wants me to set the following SRV records up:

_xmpp-client._tcp.domain.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 5 5222 ofhost.
_xmpps-client._tcp.domain.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 5 5223 ofhost.
_xmpps-server._tcp.domain.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 5 5270 ofhost.

Actually, I have set them up! They exist, on my DNS server, under that domain, under TCP protocol:

Service|Proto|TTL|Type|Priority|Weight|Port|Host
_xmpp-client._tcp|86400|SRV|0 5 5222 ofhost
_xmpps-client._tcp|86400|SRV|0 5 5223 ofhost
_xmpps-server._tcp|86400|SRV|0 5 5270 ofhost

Does anybody know what is missing?

The domain is missing in your example (_xmpp-client._tcp.YOUR_DOMAIN).

Which result do you get when you try to query the SRV record from within a terminal?

> Linux, OS X> `host -t SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.YOUR_DOMAIN`
> Linux, OS X> `host -t SRV _xmpp-server._tcp.YOUR_DOMAIN`
> Linux, OS X> `dig _xmpp-client._tcp.YOUR_DOMAIN SRV`
> Linux, OS X> `dig _xmpp-server._tcp.YOUR_DOMAIN SRV`
> Windows> `nslookup -querytype=SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.YOUR_DOMAIN`
> Windows> `nslookup -querytype=SRV _xmpp-server._tcp.YOUR_DOMAIN`

If you’re not certain about how the result should look like, try the following example,

dig SRV _xmpp-server._tcp.igniterealtime.org
 
......
;; ANSWER SECTION:
_xmpp-server._tcp.igniterealtime.org. 300 IN SRV 0 10 5269 xmpp2.igniterealtime.org.
_xmpp-server._tcp.igniterealtime.org. 300 IN SRV 0 10 5269 xmpp.igniterealtime.org.

The domain is not shown because it is selected, in the router settings, for that whole window, like I said in the OP.
Your queries work:

[user1@localhost]$ host -t SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.domain.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.domain.com has SRV record 0 5 5222 ofhost.domain.com.
[user1@localhost]$

;; ANSWER SECTION:
_xmpp-client._tcp.domain.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 5 5222 ofhost.domain.com.

I only notice that you query _xmpp_server whereas the server UI asks me to create _xmpps_server. Dunno if that matters or is the root cause.

Never mind!
I realized that the server was complaining not about SRV records but about the fact that the Server Host Name included the host name alone. Once I added the domain, to arrive at its FQDN, the warning disappeared.
