I mean that conference.jabber.org doesn't accept s2s connections. Now
they are hosted at the same IP address so it doesn't really make any
difference I suppose. Perhaps this is indeed an implementation detail.
I'll have to think about the DNS SRV implications, but in general we do
not recommend that you create a DNS SRV entry for services, only for the
root domain.
