adding SRV records to a FreeBSD server

[Mark Blackman]

Using the standard version query syntax below..

dig +short @ns1.partnershiphp.org version.bind txt chaos

"DNS Server v2090"

She seems to have a DNS server that I'm both unfamiliar with
and unable to find with a search engine.

So, as you say, this is a DNS server question not an OS
question. 

Ola, you must find out which software is being used to provide
DNS name service from this machine before proceeding. 

If 'lsof' is not already installed, as root, install it with

pkg_add -rv http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-4.11-release/All/lsof-4.73.1.tgz

then as root use 

lsof -i :53

to identify the name service binary and current PID on your machine.

With that data, you should be able to ask more specific questions
about managing the name service being used.
