Minecraft issues

Website, Application, Performance DNS & Network

Hey,
I own a Minecraft server and the IP they connect to only works for about 70% of the people connecting to it, I was wondering if someone could help me solve my issue.

I first looked up the SRV record and got this result:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;_minecraft._tcp.opanarchy.com.	IN	SRV

;; ANSWER SECTION:
_minecraft._tcp.opanarchy.com. 279 IN	SRV	0 0 25565 54.39.130.106.opanarchy.com.

But if I look up 54.39.130.106.opanarchy.com, the record doesn’t exist:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;_minecraft._tcp.opanarchy.com.	IN	A

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
opanarchy.com.		1799	IN	SOA	molly.ns.cloudflare.com. dns.cloudflare.com. 2033131680 10000 2400 604800 3600

It looks like you’re trying to use an IP as the target of an SRV record, which isn’t allowed. You must use a hostname instead. A simple solution might be to create an A record such as backend.opanarchy.com with the IP (54.39.130.106) and then have the SRV record point to backend.opanarchy.com.
