unless remote resolvers explicitly query for the SRV records, and they

for SRV records. In this case, there is no kludgery AFAICT and it seems
to work fine and be easier to deploy. imho this may be useful if we go
to the path of using the DNS to express preferences about locators for
incoming communications
*If* we go with SRV records at names like _shim6._ip.FQDN, then the
applications don't have to be modified; the getaddrinfo() implementation
(often implemented in a resolver library) can handle this transparent
to the application.
