Never mind... I was mistaken. The srv_callback() function puts the
records returned by the DNS lookup into priority order (lowest numbers
first), and then the process_weights() function sorts by weight within
each priority. So, in both Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6, the SRV record lookups
should choose the lowest-priority, highest-weight entry returned by the
DNS lookup. There still isn't any failover, but we are least choosing
the correct single record from the list in DNS.
