I have together with Olaf Kolkman suggested a new RR type that I call URI

owner of the RRSET), but a URI in the RDATA. It has been posted to the
namedroppers list a few times...but maybe that has been wrong. Maybe Apps
Area should have been notified about the work a bit more...
Cyrus has asked a few questions about it, and maybe it is me that have
not reached out to the Caldav people enough? I have tried to push it
through via the DNS people in the IETF, but there have not been enough
traction.
I did chat with a few server implementors about this and the feeling was
SRV + .well-known is a good solution that can quickly be deployed. Some
points:
1) SRV's are very deployable today - a new RR will be harder to deploy.
2) There is a push to support SRV's with other protocols (e.g.
draft-daboo-srv-email for IMAP, POP3, and Submission) so from an
operational standpoint its likely to be more common.
3) .well-known is useful in the absence of any DNS records. i.e. if no
SRV/URI were available, a client can still try auto-discovery by attempting
an HTTP connection to the host (derived from user input) and the
.well-known path.
