Description prohorp 2026-07-20 01:28:10 UTC
In accordance with RFC 2782, the Windows DNS Server
implementation includes the corresponding address records
(A and AAAA) in the Additional Data section of the SRV response.
This optimization, known as additional section processing,
allows the client to resolve the target's IP address without
initiating subsequent DNS queries, thereby reducing network
latency and round-trips
