[jdev] Google DNS SRV records

[Rory]

Hi All,

I imagine that the Google Talk Team is listening in on this
list so I'm going to make a request from them here. If
this is inappropriate or if someone knows of a better
channel to communicate with the team, please redirect me.

Let me start by saying Welcome (and thanks for
the target practice). As for my request: if it
is at all possible could you add the DNS SRV record
_xmpp-client._tcp.gmail.com for your service. It really is
such a simple task but it would make all the difference to
developers who are just trying to do a simple bare-bones
implementation of the specs.  The current situation -
'gmail.com' domain hosted on 'talk.google.com' without
the DNS SRV record - requires unnecessary non-standard
(as per RFC3920) additions to an XMPP client/library.

Though I seriously doubt you need any instructions on
how to accomplish this let me just add that I found the
directions in the Jabberd 2 Installation and Administration
Guide to be very helpful. See:

Thanks,

Rory
