Are SRV records the same as MX records?
No, SRV records and MX records are different types of DNS records. MX records (Mail exchange records) are used to identify the mail servers responsible for handling email for a specific domain name. MX record contains the name of the server that should handle the email for a domain, and the priority of that server. On the other hand, SRV records (Service records) provide information about the location of a specific service on a network. They contain information about the hostname and port number of a service, such as a SIP or XMPP service, as well as the priority and weight of the service. This information is used by clients to determine the best server to use for a specific service. MX records are used for the mail service, SRV records for other services.
