No. It takes 100ms extra.  Only if you serialise all the lookups
does it take 3 extra seconds.  If you are not doing the DNS lookups
in parallel today you are already doing a dis-service to your
customers.

Adding a SRV lookup should add 0ms if it isn't there as you should be
making A, AAAA and SRV lookups in parallel.  Non-existance is as
cachable as existance is.
