About

The XMPP Core RFC describes a method of using DNS SRV records to determine the host and port to connect to when logging into an XMPP account. It can sometimes be tricky to configure these records. Use this page as a tool to verify that your DNS SRV records are correct.

You can also fetch these records yourself with any of the following commands.
Linux, OS X> host -t SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.example.com
Linux, OS X> host -t SRV _xmpp-server._tcp.example.com
Linux, OS X> dig _xmpp-client._tcp.example.com SRV
Linux, OS X> dig _xmpp-server._tcp.example.com SRV
Linux, OS X, Windows> nslookup -querytype=SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.example.com
Linux, OS X, Windows> nslookup -querytype=SRV _xmpp-server._tcp.example.com
