Agree.  The SRV record can even prioritize desired servers, and 
reference third-party service providers who might specialize in 
mitigating 0wned accounts, for example.  The SRV record appears ideal 
for this type of application.  Even Bonjour adopted the SRV service 
naming strategy, so why reinvent the wheel?
