Enables users to connect to multiplayer servers using domain names only (e.g.,
example.com) instead of requiring explicithost:portformat. Client queries_phira._tcp.<domain>SRV records to resolve target host and port.Implementation

example.com:12345→ pass-through[::1]:8080→ pass-through (IPv6 with port)example.com→ SRV lookup::1→ SRV lookup (bare IPv6 detected by multiple colons before last colon)Connection updates
