What is a POP DNS?

POP (email) servers are registered just like any other DNS records.

DNS does NOT redirect (for services). If you wish to redirect
for an HTTP server put up a page that does that.

I don't think "redirect" is the term you are looking for. If you own
"domain.com", you will either need to have a company be authoritative for
that domain, or you will have to have a server on the internet with a static,
public IP address.

In either of these two scenarios, you would want to create an DNS A record
for "pop" which you would point to the IP address of your choice.

Yes POP is not like SMTP is does not need it's own type of record.

Most people tend to to create a sub domian like.

pop.Domian.com

pop clients normaly just reslove the domain name and then try to make a
connection on port 110.
