With an SRV (Server) record, you can specify a host and a port for specific services, like for example, Lync/Skype for business with Office 365. In most cases, a third-party service will tell you what the record should contain.
When you need to enter the value or the location where you want to direct to, it will typically consist of a port weight and target. Looking something like this: 1 443 sipdir.online.lync.com.
Create an SRV record on your domain
