SRV records

Can someone help me determine why these SRV entries do not seem to work.  

IN      A       10.2.2.45
_jabber._tcp.spt4.corp.jabber.com.      IN      SRV     10 0 5269
spt3.corp.jabber.com.
spt3            IN      A       10.2.2.45
spt4            IN      A       10.2.2.41

Now, the following does work:

IN      A       10.2.2.45
_jabber._tcp      IN      SRV     10 0 5269 spt3.corp.jabber.com.
spt3            IN      A       10.2.2.45

Following the examples in the book, it seems perfectly reasonable to use SRV
records machine to machine rather than just domain to machine?

As well is there a good way to use nslookup or dig to find srv records?  A
dig @nameserver srv corp.jabber.com or dig @nameserver srv
spt4.corp.jabber.com both don't return anything in the Answer section.

Thanks in advance.
