Only to note that RRs can be and usually are cached.  (I use
dnsmasq for almost a quarter of a century, but today most Linux
(also systemd) and BSD including Apple have some local DNS cache,
and even mostly active by default i would say.)

So -- i have heard that from several people, this "at first it
increases DNS load" -- whereas yes, you have to look up that, with
the now i would really assume normal local caching (despite the
fact that this is on "operating system level", application-level
caching, especially with a long running server, was a reality over
two decades ago, that much is plain) you do have a one-to-many
from DNS and email traffic, "usually".  Eg

  # dig _imaps._tcp.gmail.com SRV
  ...
  _imaps._tcp.gmail.com.  21600   IN      SRV     5 0 993 imap.gmail.com.

Six hours.

  # dig _smtps._tcp.sdaoden.eu SRV
  ...
  _smtps._tcp.sdaoden.eu. 14400   IN      SRV     0 1 26 sdaoden.eu.

Four hours.  (I do not control that, i have only a web form.)
