I'm trying to get my minecraft server to be reachable through my domain name, as opposed to needing to connect with the IP and port. Because I want to host multiple servers, it would be ideal if I could tie a subdomain to a port, so then people could just connect to minecraft.sandwich247.com and be in to the main server, or somethingelse.sandwich247.com to go to a different server.
On my dns provider's website, I've created an A record with
Domain Target
minecraft 77.99.72.13
I've created an SRV record with the server of
Domain _minecraft._tcp.minecraft.sandwich247.com
Target minecraft.sandwich247.com
Priority 0
Weighting 5
Port
25565
In minecraft, if I try to connect to 77.99.72.13:65535, it works fine.
If I try to connect to minecraft.sandwich247.com it does not
Running nslookup minecraft.sandwich247.com gives
Server: 194.168.4.100

Non-authoritative answer:

If I run nslookup -type=SRV _minecraft._tcp.sandwich247.com then I get

Non-authoritative answer:
_minecraft._tcp.sandwich247.com service = 0 5 25565 minecraft.sandwich247.com
Authoritative answers can be found from:
minecraft.sandwich247.com internet address = 77.99.72.13
If I run nslookup -type=SRV _minecraft._tcp.minecraft.sandwich247.com then I get
Server: 194.168.4.100
Address: 194.168.4.100#53
** server can't find _minecraft._tcp.minecraft.sandwich247.com: NXDOMAIN
I have no idea what that 194.168.4.100 IP address is (possibly my ISP?)
If I use a port checker to see if minecraft.sandwich247.com has port 25565 open, then it says it's closed, but checking with the IP says it's open.
Is what I'm trying to do possible? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
