I noticed this while trying to reproduce #1364. The SRV servers were just silently skipped because they were not marked as primary.

Dmitri raised an interesting point in the ticket. Our documentation seems to suggest the _srv_ servers can be present in the backup list.
I actually think we should just disallow that and only support host names in the backup list (and I seem to remember that we said that the backup server implementation would keep it simple and won't deal with SRV servers at all).
Supporting _srv_ records would mean all kinds of interesting corner cases like handling duplicates between the primary and secondary list on the fly, because you don't really know what the SRV query would yield.
We can't fix the documentation now that we're past the string freeze, though..
