SRV support for dns.el

SRV support for dns.el

[Magnus Henoch]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 310 bytes --]

The included patch enables dns.el to make SRV queries and parse the
results.  Can it be included in Gnus?

(SRV records are defined in RFC 2782.  In short, querying for
_foo._tcp.example.com returns the hostname and port number of the
server(s) providing service foo at example.com over TCP.)

Regards,
Magnus

Thanks for the patch; I've applied it to No Gnus v0.3 (i. e., CVS).
