Hello, I have set up a service on one of my machines and at the moment I'm accessing it using an : combo. I was wondering if there is a way to make this easier, so I don't have to enter the whole IP and port and came upon SRV records as a possibility. I am unable to find if Pi-Hole even supports SRV records and if so how can I add a custom one for my use case.

But your software needs to specifically do SRV lookups. You cant use it like in for example a browser that only does A or AAAA record lookups. .......... I thi…
