If the 'authorised but not authenticated' option remains in the CSV
spec, then I'd say that multiple SRV records should _definitely_ remain,
to allow for that to be used at the same time as 'authenticated'.
David makes the case that there are plausible cases where, for example,
a multihomed host would have some IP addresses which should be listed as
weight==2 and others which should not (but are still legitimate).
Although we do not currently have any mechanism to handle this in a
useful manner, I could certainly imagine one. Clearly, David's situation
cannot be handled with a single SRV RR.
I'm not sure how important it is to handle cases like this: it really
doesn't seem critically important right now; and it certainly could be
a version-2 enhancement.
Opinions?
