I'm running a teamspeak server on a VPS. I'm also using the VPS for webhosting. Using DNS manager on Windows Server 2012, I need to know how to correctly create a SRV record to use as a ts.mydomain.com as my teamspeak IP. I've used several guides already but I can't seem to get it working.
-= TeamSpeak Fanatic =-
_ts3._udp.example.com. IN SRV 1 0 9987 ts1.example.com.
_ts3._udp.example.com. IN SRV 10 0 9989 ts2.example.com.
ts1.example.com. IN A ip.add.ress.1
ts2.example.com. IN A ip.add.ress.2
This will describe a TS3 service for example.com. domain, and list two servers, a main (priority 1 weight 0) and a backup (priority 10 weight 0).
When TS3 client is told to connect to example.com, it should automatically choose main server, or if it is not reachable, try to connect to backup server.
(2014-07-01) However, right now, the implementation of SRV RR lookup only consider records with lowest priority, ignoring anything else.
EDITED with clarifying information from TS support.

tl;dr How do I use windows Windows DNS Manager to correctly create srv records?

As stated, I have searched around and used several guides but I can't get it working. Hence why I posted in the support forum.

Ok, please show us, what you've already achieved.
-= TeamSpeak Fanatic =-
Yeah, but it isn't a teamspeak issue... so you might be more successful in getting an answer if you try a "windows admin" forum. I don't know how windows dns is to be configured...Originally Posted by austin070

After a day of struggling, I think I've found the answer, but the OP will need to use Windows PowerShell & not the DNS Manager
The command I've posted below assumes the TS3 server is running on host omega.mst.local on port 9987, the OP will need to change all the bits I've put in bold
Add-DnsServerResourceRecord -zone mst.local -name _ts3._udp.omega -domainname omega.mst.local -weight 0 -priority 0 -Srv -port 9987 -computername omega
Here's the Teamspeak client log
26/06/2014 12:48:00 ClientUI Info Connect to server: omega.mst.local
26/06/2014 12:48:00 ClientUI Info Trying to resolve omega.mst.local
26/06/2014 12:48:00 TSDNS Info DNS resolve successful, "omega.mst.local"=192.168.0.21
26/06/2014 12:48:00 TSDNS Info SRV DNS resolve successful, "_ts3._udp.omega.mst.local"=>"omega.mst.local:9987 " = 192.168.0.21:9987
26/06/2014 12:48:00 ClientUI Info Lookup finished: 192.168.0.21 9987 omega.mst.local 0 0
26/06/2014 12:48:00 ClientUI Info Resolve successful: 192.168.0.21:9987
Hope this helps

There can't be such domain as "omega.mst.local".
Domain suffix ".local" is reserved for self-organizing networks without a central server, thus can't contain more than one dot in the name. I.e. "omega.local".
Even if correct this nonsense, you're doing it wrong. You're adding TS service for single host, not for domain.

It works, perhaps you have a better solution?
-= TeamSpeak Fanatic =-
"It works" doesn't imply "it doesn't break interoperability". Look above, I've explained the issue.
To the "better solution", check my first reply to this thread, outlining correct SRV RR setup for domain.
-= TeamSpeak User =-
The reason I ignored this is because I don't know what to do with it.
-= TeamSpeak Fanatic =-
Well if you don't know what to do with correct answer, then why are you trying to run a server? Ask someone else to help you set it up.
Even wikipedia might help you understand that answer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRV_record
Just translate it into your windows GUI fields you want to use so badly.
Just FYI I don't know if ts3client supports it yet, but it was build with ignoring priority and weight attributes of SRV.
-= TeamSpeak Fanatic =-
In my tests, it correctly select servers based on priority (at least).
Even though the DNS requests look bogus.
I hope what you say is not true, as it breaks standard.
-= TeamSpeak Team =-
Actually you messed it up, if you want a backup the priority needs to be different, the weight just specifies the chance at which that specific entry for this priority is chosen. (Load Balancing). Not that it matters anyway since TS3 currently chooses a random one of the lowest priority and will use that one, without ever trying secondaries.
