In this common scenario, it is often necessary for a dual-stack In this common scenario, it is often necessary for a dual-stack
client to indicate a preference for either IPv4 or IPv6. A service client to indicate a preference for either IPv4 or IPv6. A service
may use DNS SRV records to indicate such a preference for an address may use DNS SRV records to indicate such a preference for an address
