[JDEV] jabber prepended to domain name

[Robert Temple]

I actually no very little about DNS.   So I don't know what a SRV record is.

I'm actually more interested in the server-to-server part of this.  If we
have a server running at jabber.foo.org, then I won't be able to talk to
that person from my jabber.com account.  When I add person at foo.org to my
roster using my jabber.com account, jabber.com tries to make a
server-to-server connection to foo.org. 


Doesn't the server already do the SRV lookup when connecting to another
server? I am not familiar with its innards, but the overview documents at
jabber.org describe say that it does. 


Perhaps your local DNS is not set up with an SRV record mapping foo.org to
jabber.foo.org?
