Description

Hi

It would be convenient if sslocal is able to read both server address & port from a DNS SRV record, like: "_ss._tcp.example.com", so we can change the server address on the fly, without modifying sslocal config file.

Research direction

Start at the sslocal configuration and server address/port handling, then review how DNS resolution is performed. Define the expected behavior for the _ss._tcp.example.com SRV record, including obtaining both address and port, and verify that sslocal can follow server changes without editing its configuration.
