 It would be very nice, if firefox would lead the way, and be first
web browser to support SRV lookup. Unlike A record lookup, SRV can
easily support loadbalancing and multihoming. So even users with
two 20e/month DSL lines or IPv6 connections can offer multihomed
websites with or without loadbalancing.
 As firefox team would probably be concerned of the increased
time it takes to fetch website (need to ask both A and SRV) this
could be configurable option.
