Anthony’s Ramblings

I’ve been searching for an answer to why server to server connections have stopped working with Google Talk, and this seems to be the reason:

http://www.igniterealtime.org/issues/browse/OF-44

The short story is that Openfire 3.6.4 isn’t RFC compliant on resolving DNS records. This causes problems with XMPP domains that provide multiple SRV records. Google is one of them.

S2S connections worked with Google Talk for the longest time (since I started hosting Jabber in 2005)! I wonder when Google made the change? Oh well. It looks like I get to wait for the next release of Openfire. Which according to http://www.igniterealtime.org/community/message/202626 should be soon.

Go Openfire developers! I’ll be impatiently waiting.
