settings are correct

Hello,

Thanks for the explanation. Seems my settings were correct. I have noticed during the Dig lookup that my requested was handled by a different DNS server than expected.

$ dig _xmpp-client._tcp.mydomain.com srv @8.8.8.8 # or 208.67.222.222

Finally the easy to remember Google Public DNS came in handy. Seems that the requests are handled as expected for Internet users. I will have to reconfigure some DNS servers now?!?!?!!!

greets,

Gerard

Ok, then:

You installed ejabberd in the machine VPS02.mydomain.net
You configured in ejabberd.cfg something like {hosts, ["mydomain.com"]}.
mydomain.com points to VPS01.mydomain.net
You want to set in a Jabber client an account like gbradd@mydomain.com, and the client should connect to ejabberd

To accomplish that, it should be enough that you configure SRV stuff in your DNS properly, and that the Jabber client supports that.

The result of a proper DNS configuration is that you get different results for those queries:
$ dig mydomain.com
$ dig _xmpp-client._tcp.mydomain.com srv

You will also want to setup support for this:
$ dig _xmpp-server._tcp.mydomain.com srv

See the section 5.7. Setting DNS SRV Records of the Jabberd 2 Documentation Project.
