URI record

In the Domain Name System, a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) record (RFC 7553) is a means for publishing mappings from hostnames to URIs.

Record format
The URI record is expressed in a master file in the following format:

where:


 * service: the symbolic name of the desired service.
 * proto: the transport protocol of the desired service; this is usually either TCP or UDP.
 * name: the domain name for which this record is valid, ending in a dot.
 * TTL: standard DNS time to live field.
 * class: standard DNS class field (this is always IN).
 * priority: the priority of the target host, lower value means more preferred.
 * weight: A relative weight for records with the same priority, higher value means more preferred.
 * target: This field holds the URI of the target, enclosed in double-quote characters ('"'), where the URI is as specified in RFC 3986
