Seems to be working ok here


bbs@bbs:~$ host -t TXT f100.n3.z21.fsxnet.nz
f100.n3.z21.fsxnet.nz descriptive text "Clearing Houz"
bbs@bbs:~$ host -t SRV _binkp._tcp.f100.n3.z21.fsxnet.nz
_binkp._tcp.f100.n3.z21.fsxnet.nz has SRV record 0 1 24554
clrghouz.bbs.dege.au. bbs@bbs:~$ host -t SRV
_ifcico._tcp.f100.n3.z21.fsxnet.nz _ifcico._tcp.f100.n3.z21.fsxnet.nz
has SRV record 0 1 60179 clrghouz.bbs.dege.au.
