-#### Set up SRV +
- +
-By setting an SRV record in your DNS provider, it is possible to tell other matrix servers where to connect to the server, pointing them to the correct hostname and port, in this example the default port (8448) is still used: +
- +
-<code> +
-_matrix._tcp.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 10 5 443 synapse.example.com. +
-</code> +
- +
-There is still an A record needed, pointing to the IP-addess of synapse on the subdomain (matrix.example.com). This way others can add your user with ''@user:example.com'' instead of ''@user:matrix.example.com''.+
