the gandi.net communities
I tried to set some SRV records to setup a Jabber service with no luck (using "normal" or "expert" web interface). This is what I'm trying to do :
_jabber._tcp.my_domain.com. 86400 IN SRV 5 0 5269 host.some_other_domain.com.
[…] I'm unsure that it is possible to do this from the web interface, since it keeps changing what I've just typed in the expert interface removing "my_domain.com." when I submit the zone form.
You're overspecifying: a proper zone file leaves implicit the ".my_domain.com." on the left hand side, so that it can be reused for multiple domains.
Gandi is being silently helpful by leaving just the subdomain-level hostnames on the left. It's doing the right thing. Since it's not touching or complaining about the SRV records, I'll bet it'll work.
