SRV record

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of a thing called a "phone book"? It's like a big book that has all the phone numbers for people and businesses.

Well, an SRV record is kind of like a phone book for computers on the internet. When you want to visit a website, your computer needs to know where to find it, just like when you want to call someone, you need to know their phone number.

So, the SRV record is like a special listing in the "internet phone book" that tells your computer where to find certain services that are hosted on another computer. For example, if you want to play a game online, your computer needs to find the server that is hosting that game.

The SRV record gives your computer the information it needs to find the right server, like the server's name, the protocol it's using (like TCP or UDP), and the port number where the service is running.

So, just like a phone book helps you find people and businesses, the SRV record helps your computer find the servers that are running the services you need to access on the internet.
