URI record

In the Domain Name System, a Uniform Resource Identifier 'record' is a means for publishing mappings from hostnames to URIs.

Record format

The URI record is expressed in a master file in the following format:
where:
; service: the symbolic name of the desired service.
; proto: the transport protocol of the desired service; this is usually either TCP or UDP.
; name: the domain name for which this record is valid, ending in a dot.
; TTL: standard DNS time to live field.
; class: standard DNS class field.
; priority: the priority of the target host, lower value means more preferred.
; weight: A relative weight for records with the same priority, higher value means more preferred.
; target: This field holds the URI of the target, enclosed in double-quote characters, where the URI is as specified in RFC 3986
