go-srvclient

A simple package for resolving DNS SRV records, according to the algorithm set forth in that project's README. It simply takes in a hostname and does a SRV request against it. It wil then look at all the returned entries and make a weighted random choice of one of them, returning a string which is the "host:port" of the picked entry.

Does not work on Windows.
