This is the wrong place to put it.
_http._tcp.example.com. SRV 0 0 80 www1.example.com.
_http._tcp.example.com. SRV 0 0 80 www2.example.com.
would natually cause two calls to getaddrinfo()
getaddrinfo(www1.example.com, 80, ...)
getaddrinfo(www2.example.com, 80, ...)
or do you want getaddrinfo() to recurse?
