Hey #xmpp and #jabber experts on Mastodon: my XMPP server is im.interfree.ca, and so my JID is fastfinge@im.interfree.ca.

Hey #xmpp and #jabber experts on Mastodon: my XMPP server is im.interfree.ca, and so my JID is fastfinge@im.interfree.ca. However, I would like to alias my JID to fastfinge@interfree.ca. That way my email, jabber, and fediverse id's are all the same. I control the DNS on the entire domain. How can I do this? A quick search isn't finding me a list of clear and straightforward steps.

@fastfinge You can set up SRV records for your XMPP server, like this (in BIND format):
_jabber._tcp 300 IN SRV 0 0 5269 im.interfree.ca.
_xmpp-client._tcp 300 IN SRV 0 0 5222 im.interfree.ca.
_xmpp-server._tcp 300 IN SRV 0 0 5269 im.interfree.ca.You'll probably also need to configure your XMPP server to handle the base domain.

You need srv records

@matt Thank you!!! That was exactly the answer I needed. -

@fastfinge As others already pointed out, you can do it with SRV records. As a bit of expectation management, be aware that XMPP is stricter with routing so there isn't really the kind of aliasing you may be familiar with from email. If you already have contacts with that JID then those will stop working if you rename your host.

There is no such thing as alias in #xmpp
fastfinge@im.interfree.ca is a different account than fastfinge@interfree.ca.
I think you can set up interfere.ca as another virtualhost and use https://migrate.modernxmpp.org/

@zash Thanks! I don't want to rename; if I set up the SRV record, can I just use both interchangeably? -
