I'm asking if I can check the type of DNS records, in particular if they are A records or SRV. Furthermore, how can I manage the SRV records with Akka HTTP through Scala code. There is documentation about that but can you provide an example? Currently, I use

ipList = InetAddress.getAllByName(nameServer)

to fetch the list of IP Addresses associated to that name, with A Records (myserver.geo.server.com. IN A 10.58.203.190) it works correctly. But I noticed that if I add also an SRV Records (ex. _thrift._tcp.prova.geo.server.com. IN SRV 10 0 9095 myserver.geo.server.com. ), this code is not able to fetch that records.

So I think I have to use another approach, I read documentation linked above but I did'nt understand how to use it.

What exactly do you mean by "manage"? – Levi Ramsey Aug 24 '21 at 16:30

Alternatively, if you're not inclined to bring in Akka just for resolving SRV records, this Java question may be a reasonable guide: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10138844/java-dns-lookup-for-srv-records – Levi Ramsey Sep 02 '21 at 14:54
