 Again, note that the SRV record returns the port of the service as well as its IP.
 
+#### SRV response for hosts in the .addr subdomain
+
+If a service registered to Consul has an explicit IP [`address`](/api-docs/agent/service#address)
+or tagged address(es) defined on the service registration, the hostname returned
+in the target field of the answer section for the DNS SRV query for the service
+will be in the format of `<hexadecimal-encoded IP>.addr.<datacenter>.consul`.
