American black bearOP
i want to have about four different minecraft servers running locally off my personal computer. my current plan to have them all not directed to the same place is to send each one to a different port and create a separate cname/srv record for each, so to have four different subdomains.
is this the best way to do it or is there a simpler way?

Is this being ran for people on the wide internet to join?
Easiest way would be make a single A record pointing to your IP, and then just make every SRV record, pointing to that one A record

As long as they share the same IP they can use the same A record

it's just for anyone i personally invite, so friends for the most part. but could you help me understand how the different srvs would point to each individual server if they all have the same domain? how would it know what server to send you to then?

I've probs explained this badly.
Each SRV record would be on a different subdomain, but then it would all point to the same A record. Little example:
root.example.com - > 1.2.3.4

root.example.com - > 1.2.3.4
_minecraft._tcp.server1.example.com - > port 25565, root.example.com_minecraft._tcp.server2.example.com -> port 25566, root.example.comSomething like that would work

i think i'm maybe doing this already, not sure. for the two servers i have currently i have
play.__.__ and map.__.__ cnames with the srv records pointing to the specific ports. are you saying that i don't need to create a cname record to establish those as separate domain names, just an srv?my bad if i'm not getting it, i'm just trying to fully understand
Checkered Giant
Yes, you shouldn't need to make a cname for every SRV record.
As long as a single cname/a record exists, you can point every SRV to that, only changing the port

i'm sorry but "only changing the port" is the part that i'm not grasping. my initial domain was
play.xxx. are you saying to create the 4 srv records with that play domain, only changing the port, or will i be able to add whatever sub thing (play, map, wtv.) that i want into the srv record and have it function?Checkered Giant
I am
Sorry with how badly I am explaining, I am running on 2 hours of sleep xd

Just use velocity, it can send you to different servers depending on which domain you connect to I think*
American black bearOP
what i understood before is that i had to make a cname with whatever sub name i wanted in order to have 4 separate domains
i can't figure out if you're telling me that's wrong or not
Checkered Giant
It's not incorrect, you just don't need to do that
There's really no "wrong" way to do it
American black bearOP
okay i had to look at my provider to find the proper term
@Checkered Giant It's not incorrect, you just don't need to do that
American black bearOP
if i don't get it after this i'll just close this thread lol. so as long as i type the host name i want into the srv, my separate subdomains will work?
if i'm still confused i'll just thug it out
Checkered Giant
Yep
If that doesn't work follow dominics advice and use velocity
Unless you want them fully separate
Bluetick Coonhound
If srv records are confusing, this configuration allows for A records
