Instead, you need to instruct the Matrix network that Matrix services for `example.com` are redirected over to `matrix.example.com`. This redirection is also known as "delegation". As we discuss in [Server Delegation](howto-server-delegation.md), server delegation can be configured in either way: - Setting up a `/.well-known/matrix/server` file on the base domain (`example.com`) - Setting up a `_matrix._tcp` DNS SRV record -For simplicity reasons, this playbook recommends you to set up server delegation via a `/.well-known/matrix/server` file. +For simplicity reasons, this playbook recommends you to set up server delegation via a `/.well-known/matrix/server` file, instead of using DNS SRV records. -If you choose this method, you do not need to set anything to enable server delegation for now. We'll revisit this topic on [finalizing the installation](installing.md#finalize-the-installation), after installing and starting Matrix services. +If you choose the recommended method, you do not need to configure DNS SRV records to enable server delegation. We'll revisit this topic in [finalizing the installation](installing.md#finalize-the-installation), after installing and starting Matrix services. On the other hand, if you choose the other method (setting the DNS SRV record), you need to configure the additional DNS record.
