Question XML API adding SRV record

[TobiasP]

Hi,
could you please provide me with an example for adding a SRV DNS record with the XML Api?

This does not work:
<packet>
<dns>
<add_rec>
<site-id>232</site-id>
<type>SRV</type>
<host>_sip</host>
<value>sipdir.online.lync.com.</value>
<opt><srv protocol="_tls" port="443" priority="100" weight="1" /></opt>
</add_rec>
</dns>
</packet>

the returned error is:
<errcode>1014</errcode>
<errtext>Parser error: Request is invalid. Error in line 8: Element 'opt': Element content is not allowed, because the type definition is simple.</errtext>

the documentation (Adding DNS Record)
is not very helpful, it provides examples for all the trivial DNS records but not for the one that has the most extras.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Sadly their documentation on this isn't quite correct, here's an example for you or anyone else that comes across this problem:-

<dns>
<add_rec>
<site-id>217</site-id>
<type>SRV</type>
<host>_autodiscover._tcp</host>
<value>provider.domain.tld.</value>
<opt>5 25 443</opt>
</add_rec>
</dns>

the opt order is priority, weight, port.
