Service Information
Well-known Services: Sixteen different well known service types are listed in a drop down box which define the service and protocol type. Customer-defined Services: If your service is not available in the “Well -Known Services” type drop down box, you can define your own service type and select the protocol from a pre-defined drop down box.
Hosts Information
List up to five host names providing service, including the port with a priority and weight setting. Hostname: Represents the name of the server providing the service. This can either be a fully qualified domain name, if the server is not within your zone, or it can be a sub-node within the zone.Port: The port number the service is listening on. Priority: Lower priority records take precedence over higher priority records. Weight: Weight is used when more than one service of the same priority is defined. Hosts with a greater weight will be chosen more often for a given priority than hosts with a lesser one. A weight of 2 will be serviced twice as often as a weight of 1 for records with matching priority.
