Title: server - what is "priority" "weight" "points to" and "ttl" Post by: Michael on September 15, 2012, 09:00:40 PM (http://i.imgur.com/dViGW.jpg)
i believe either priority or weight is how much the server can hold. i don't know what "points to" is, or ttl, i can only have ttl set to what it shows on the image.

I suspect that just helps sort incoming packets.
I'm curious what is under "Type" as options. TTL = "time to live"... one hour is fine. Points to = I imagine that's the machine IP address on your network that connections to that port should be connected to. You've provided no context but I assume this is a settings page on your router or something.

Idk, I just found a site that offers free dns called cloudns.net and it offers up to 3 free dns domains. and for type, i think its just for the type of domain it is. I put SRV because it sounded like server. here are the options: A AAAA MX CNAME TXT NS SRV Web Redirect Title: Re: server - what is "priority" "weight" "points to" and "ttl" Post by: pspeed on September 15, 2012, 11:13:01 PM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRV_record
Yeah, this service sounds very "no frills". Even I don't know exactly how I'd configure it without some investigation. It's been a long time since I played with raw DNS records... and essentially that's what it's letting you do.
