Windows DNS SRV records not working as expected.

[Matt Loretitsch]

Hello all!  I am working with 3.6.0 and now 3.6.1.  Having trouble using mongo.exe to connect to a replica set.  It says it's getting back incorrect record format for my SRV records.  I tried adding a TXT record etc. but mongo.exe always gives me the same error.  Hopefully someone notices my mistake.  server name changed to protect the innocent

PS C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin> .\mongo.exe "mongodb+srv://example.test.com/?ssl=false"
DNSProtocolError: Incorrect record format for "": expected SRV record, found something else
try 'C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin\mongo.exe --help' for more information

I can use the traditional format with all of the hosts and it connects fine.  DNS returns all the right records as shown in a wireshark trace.

Hi Matt.  I am looking into what might be going on here, but I need more information.  To help you diagnose this, I'd need the actual server name to see the actual DNS configuration and try to replicate this on our end.  If you're not comfortable revealing the server name publically, you can send me an email at: adam....@mongodb.com.  If you want to protect the server name more strongly, feel free to ask me for my PGP public key.
