Is it possible to add DNS records type SRV to use Microsoft Lync Online for instant messaging?

If you’ve registered a domain through WordPress.com, you should be able to add SRV records. Please review this guide to learn more about adding SRV records to your domain.

Thank you for your reply. I’ll try to explain my problem a better:
I’ve mapped an existing domain http://www.hermenes .no.
The domain’s name servers are updated to NS*.WORDPRESS.COM.

To maintain my DNS records I now use WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Domains.

Adding Custom DNS Records for e-mail worked OK. But I’m not able to add SRV records, they don’t validate – WordPress Dashbord returns an error message. -
Just to be sure, would you please quote the error message you see?
Also, can you quote the records you’re trying to add?

When I try to register a SRV record I get the following error message (translated from Norwegian): “We cannot save these items because they do not seem right for us. Check the errors below. Please contact support if you cannot solve the problem.”
I’ve tried several syntaxes.
I need to register to SRV records:
Type; Service; Protocol; Port; Weight; Priority; TTL; Name; Target
SRV; _sip; _tls; 443; 1; 100; 1 Hour; hermenes.no; sipdir.online.lync.com
SRV; _sipfederationtls; _tcp; 5061; 1; 100; 1 Hour; hermenes.no; sipfed.online.lync.com -
Ah, good. I checked this over and it looks like we don’t allow setting SRV records via DNS.
If you required this, you would have to transfer your domain to a registrar that does.

If I transfer my domain to my registrar that allows setting SRV records, will I still be able to have http://www.hermenes.no as my blog address?

Unfortunately, no. You would need to direct the nameservers here to map the domain here, so you’d have to make all DNS changes here still, and we don’t offer support for SRV records.
-
I’ll have to solve this another way then …
Any plans to implement support for SRV records? -
It is possible that we will add support for SRV records in the future, however we cannot be sure as to when or if that may happen. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause in the meantime.
If there’s anything else we can do to help, please let us know.
