Add support for DNS and SRV Records

18 votes

When adding direct connection (https://enshrouded.featureupvote.com/suggestions/525141/dedicated-server-connection-join-via-ip), you should add support for resolving DNS names, and also utilize SRV records (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRV_record) so that you don't need to specify the port when using a domain name.

E.G. `_enshrouded._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 10 15636 enshrouded.game.example.com`

DNS works when using a domain with a CNAME/A/AAAA record, however, the SRV record is not respected. This would be a great addition to lower the friction for players to join dedicated servers.
