Like HTTP, if you want to connectto a non-default port you can just specify it in the URL. If you wantto run the gemini server on a different machine, there's lots of waysto redirect that, but the simplest would be having a `gem.domain.tld`subdomain for your domain name. makeworld > Hi all, > I was wondering if there are currently any Gemini clients that check SRV > records instead of connecting to the default port. > > Or if there are any plans to include this in the spec. > > I think it is a good way to add Gemini support to domains without > requiring the Gemini server to be installed on the same machine as other > service.
