Abstract
This document specifies how to use DNS (Domain Name Service) SRV RRs(Resource Records) to locate services for the AFS distributed filesystem and how the priority and weight values of the SRV RR should beinterpreted in the server ranking system used by AFS. It updates RFC1183 to deprecate the use of the AFSDB RR to locate AFS cell databaseservers and provides guidance for backward compatibility. [STANDARDSTRACK]
