The Jabber server should recognize the SRV record (it's supported it since 1.2 afaik) and connect to wherever it points to for S2S. You'd need to add something like this to the DNS zone for company.com: _jabber._tcp    IN SRV  30 30 5269 jabber.sub.company.com The problem with this is getting the clients to connect to the correct server, if you just set them to connect to "jabber.sub.company.com" then they will send "jabber.sub.company.com" as the to attribute of the opening <stream:stream> tag which makes the server look for "jabber.sub.company.com" in the spool directory. The only solution I can see to this is for clients to support connecting to an address which is different from the server name. In the client I am developing I allow the user to specify the name of the server in the username field by entering it in the form: user@server.com. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to do this?
