This sounds like a good plan, the SRV draft is not really adapted to a multi-layer protocol, but it really does not matter too much I guess so long as clients are consistent. The options are (I guess): 1) _pkix._http._tcp 2) _pkix_http._tcp 3) _pkixhttp._tcp I don't really care which we do... (1) seems cleanest???
