SRV wouldn't work anyway because it is incompatible with existing name 
resolution interfaces anyway.

If you do not insist on using SRV, but something that is just an alias 
(like PTR, ANAME etc.) and processed in the client, it would be quite 
straightforward to put this into the stub resolver, and then all 
applications[*] would automatically get the addresses at the 
substitution name (SNAME).  Disallow multiple substitution names per 
owner name and their chaining (but chaining to CNAME would be okay), and 
I think it would just work.

But then DNS operators will worry about a 50% (from A/AAAA to 
A/AAAA/SNAME) to 150% (from A/AAAA to A/AAAA/SNAME plus A/AAAA at the 
SNAME) increase in query load.  (SRV would be worse because there could 
be multiple target names, all needing separate processing.)  Would that 
be acceptable?  I don't know.

In fact, Firefox already solved the issue in the client: If you enter 
the zone apex, and no address record exists, it automatically redirects 
to the www name in the zone.  Unfortunately, DNS operators broke that 
when they started rewriting NODATA responses, injecting ads into 
existing domains.  So you really have to have addresses at the zone apex 
these days.

Thanks,
Florian

[*] At least all applications which correctly deal with enterprise name 
lookup, which can involve NIS and LDAP, too, not just DNS.
