#### 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`.

<Tab heading="IPv4">
In the example below, the `rabbitmq` service has been registered with an explicit
IPv4 address of `192.0.2.10`.
<CodeTabs heading="Service defined with explicit IPv4 address in agent config" filename="agent-config.hcl">
```hcl
node_name = "node1"
services {
name = "rabbitmq"
address = "192.0.2.10"
port = 5672
}
```
```json
{
"node_name": "node1",
"services": [
{
"name": "rabbitmq",
"address": "192.0.2.10",
"port": 5672
}
]
}
```
</CodeTabs>
When performing an SRV query for this service, the SRV response contains a single
record with a hostname in the format of `<hexadecimal-encoded IP>.addr.<datacenter>.consul`.
```shell-session
$ dig @127.0.0.1 -p 8600 -t srv _rabbitmq._tcp.service.consul +short
1 1 5672 c000020a.addr.dc1.consul.
```
In this example, the hex-encoded IP from the returned hostname is `c000020a`.
Converting each hex octet to decimal reveals the IP address that was specified
in the service registration.
```shell-session
$ echo -n "c000020a" | perl -ne 'printf("%vd\n", pack("H*", $_))'
192.0.2.10
```

In the example below, the `rabbitmq` service has been registered with an explicit
IPv6 address of `2001:db8:1:2:cafe::1337`.

When performing an SRV query for this servie, the SRV response contains a single
record with a hostname in the format of `<hexadecimal-encoded IP>.addr.<datacenter>.consul`.
```shell-session
$ dig @127.0.0.1 -p 8600 -t srv _rabbitmq._tcp.service.consul +short
1 1 5672 20010db800010002cafe000000001337.addr.dc1.consul.
```
In this example, the hex-encoded IP from the returned hostname is
`20010db800010002cafe000000001337`. This is the fully expanded IPv6 address with
colon separators removed.
The following command re-adds the colon separators to display the fully expanded
IPv6 address that was specified in the service registration.
```shell-session
$ echo -n "20010db800010002cafe000000001337" | perl -ne 'printf join(":", unpack("(A4)*", $_))."\n"'
2001:0db8:0001:0002:cafe:0000:0000:1337
