4. Introductory example

If a SRV-cognizant LDAP client wants to discover a LDAP server that supports TCP protocol and provides LDAP service for the domain example.com., it does a lookup of

      _ldap._tcp.example.com

as described in [ARM]. The example zone file near the end of this memo contains answering RRs for an SRV query.

Note: LDAP is chosen as an example for illustrative purposes only, and the LDAP examples used in this document should not be considered a definitive statement on the recommended way for LDAP to use SRV records. As described in the earlier applicability section, consult the appropriate LDAP documents for the recommended procedures.
