Either this is an nfs service or it isn't.
If it is, then it should be using _nfs._tcp.example.com, etc. If it
isn't, then:
a) a new service name is required
which then *requires*
b) a new port number be assigned
This doesn't show any real understanding of what we're actually
trying to do. To recap:
We don't want to enumerate all NFS servers in a domain. That is
not an interesting enumeration. We want to find certain ones that
are known to share a "domain root" (hence the syntax we chose).
When we find those servers, we will talk NFSv4 to them (not a new
service). And we will talk NFSv4 on port 2049 (not a new port).
Your proposal above makes things worse in that it will no longer
be clear what the SRV record means. It also ensures that we have a
problem if we ever want to enumerate other subsets of NFS servers
(none of which have been discussed).
