I'm trying to consolidate domain names for the servers I look after to just use one panel instead of 3 or 4, and one thing stopping me is that the provider I originally wanted to move them to only lets me the following kinds of records:

* A
* MX
* NS
* CNAME
* TXT

The first four I understand, but I'm not sure about the relationship (if any) between SRV records and TXT records.

Can I use TXT records in the place of SRV records? They [both seem to be general text records](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNS_record_types) to just point at a particular server without needing to specify a particular protocol, so it doesn't sound like a totally unreasonable assumption, but I'd rather check here before I break something.

If I can only set the above records, does that mean I'm essentially unable to so any SRC record redirecting?

Thanks!
