   Type | Type of the record set If a message is displayed indicating that the record set you are trying to create exists, the record set conflicts with an existing record set. | SRV – Record servers providing specific services
   TTL (s) | Cache duration of the record set on a local DNS server, in seconds The value ranges from 1 to 2147483647, and the default is 300. If your service address changes frequently, set TTL to a smaller value. | The default value is 300, which is, 5 minutes.

   Value

   Server address

   You can enter a maximum of 50 record values, each on a separate line.

   The value format is [priority] [weight] [port number] [server address].

   Configuration rules:
   - The priority, weight, and port number range from 0 to 65535.
   - A smaller priority value indicates a higher priority.
   - A larger weight value indicates a larger weight.
   - The server address is the domain name of the target server.

     Ensure that the domain name can be resolved.

   NOTE:

   The system checks the priority values first. If the priority values are the same, the system will check the weight values.
