DNS configuration, @ninux.org

Configuration questions

Hi,

we are currently using ejabberd in a wireless network community: cleopatra.ninux.org

We were wondering if we could use ninux.org instead, also because we would like to enable the federation and be able to communicate with other servers. The doubt is: ninux.org points to a different machine.

How to accomplish this?
I suppose it is a DNS issue.

Do I have to configure just the two following two SRV DNS records?

_xmpp-server._tcp.ninux.org
_xmpp-client._tcp.ninux.org

How do I have to do this in detail? I suppose these two have to point to cleopatra.ninux.org, right?

Is there anything else we I should know?

I am a bit confused. Is there any detailed documentation about this issues?

Thanks

By using this http://www.jms1.net/jabberd2/srv.shtml it says I should set up this way:

_jabber._tcp.ninux.org.       IN SRV   0 0 5269   cleopatra.ninux.org.
_xmpp-server._tcp.ninux.org.  IN SRV   0 0 5269   cleopatra.ninux.org.
_xmpp-client._tcp.ninux.org.  IN SRV   0 0 5222   cleopatra.ninux.org.

is it correct?

_jabber SRV record is for older (non-standards-compliant) clients, replaced by _xmpp-client SRV record. If you don't need to enable very old clients to discover your service, _jabber SRV record may be skipped. _xmpp-server SRV record is needed to enable other servers to connect to yours.
