...unless the user explicitly tells it what server to connect to, 
probably by entering the server name in a preference dialog. Which is 
exactly what people are used to from email clients: my address may be 
"jens at mac.com" but I have to enter "mail.mac.com" as the IMAP host in my 
account setup dialog.

But I agree it's nice for the client to be able to determine this 
itself. Do any of the existing open-source Unix clients do this SRV 
lookup, so I can look up [sic] how it's done?
