Thanks for the information, I think I'll consider a proxy server as an option.

I have a networking device with a web interface serving HTTPS pages. There's an A record pointing to it (mydomain.com points to that device). But when people visit the domain without https (ordinary http), I want them to be directed to another server (in this case server2.mydomain.com).<br />
<br />
Now I've created the following SRV record: _http._tcp.mydomain.com. &nbsp;0 &nbsp;100 80 server2.mydomain.com.<br />
<br />
When performing a lookup, it properly shows the entry. But whenever someone enters mydomain.com in their browser (and even http://mydomain.com&nbsp;or mydomain.com:80), they get directed to the HTTPS device which is referred to in the A record. <br />
<br />
Did I forget to configure something? Or are A records always chosen instead of SRV records if they exist?

SRV record _http._tcp. not working

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
