I was checking in to see if you were able to get this working? I’m attempting the same thing but am having issues. I have added the SRV and TXT records to GoDaddy DNS.
I’m not sure if it’s a settings issue or related to one of these issues with the discovery service:

Previously I managed to get one of my RocketChat servers testing successfully publishing details in DNS but I couldn’t get an almost identical server to successfully test the DNS settings. I constantly get the following in the log: I20200304-11:26:53.154(0) server.js:204 Federation ➔ dns.error { Error: failed [503] Service Unavailable at Object.exports.makeErrorByStatus (packages/http.js:176:…

TXT Record ( Does GoDaddy Require the Public key to be split ? )
rocketchat-public-key.subdomain1.mydomain.app -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- REDACTED -----END PUBLIC KEY-----
SRV Record
Service: \_rocketchat
Protocol: \_https
Name: subdomain1.mydomain.app
Target: subdomain1.mydomain.app
Priority: 1
Weight: 1
Port: 443
The DNS setup for sub domain 2 is the same except replacing subdomain1 with subdomain2. Does anyone have any suggestions ?
