Appendix A DNS Records Needed for the Acano
Solution
Note: You can configure the DNS resolver(s) to return values which are not configured in
external DNS servers or which need to be overridden; custom Resource Records (RRs) can be
configured which will be returned instead of querying external DNS servers. (The RR is not
available to clients.) See the MMP Command Reference for details.
Note: Verify that no DNS A or SRV records already exist for your Acano servers before defining
the records below.
Type
Example
Resolves to
Description
SRV(*)
_xmpp-
client._tcp.example.com
The A record
xmpp.example.com below.
Usually this is port 5222
Used by clients to login. The SRV record
must correspond to the domain used in
your XMPP usernames
SRV(*)
_xmpp-
server._tcp.example.com
The A record
xmpp.example.com below.
Usually this is port 5269
Used to federate between XMPP servers.
The SRV record must correspond to the
domain used in your XMPP usernames
A
xmpp.example.com
IP address of the XMPP
server
Used by clients to login.
A /
AAAA
join.example.com
IP address of the Web Bridge
This record is not used by the Acano
solution directly; however, it is common
practice to provide an end user with an
FQDN to type into the browser which
resolves to the Web Bridge. There is no
restriction or requirement on the format of
this record.
A /
AAAA
uk.example.com
IP address of the Call Bridge
Used by the Lync FE server to contact the
Call Bridge
A /
AAAA
ukadmin.example.com
IP address of the Web Admin
Interface
This record is used purely for admin
purposes; when system administrators
prefer a FQDN to remember for each MMP
interface
(*) SRV records do not resolve directly to IP addresses. You need to create associated A or AAAA name records in
order to satisfy the SRV requirements
