My point is there is really no need to choose an order. SRV should be first if it exists in DNS. The whole point for someone to add an SRV record in their DNS is for people to use it, since the specific SRV record is for H323 calls and there is no other use. I don't see why anybody would want to use A if he explicitly put an SRV in the DNS system. Given that, we could simply the routing and use SRV automatically if it exists in DNS.
