This playbook mostly discusses the well-known file method, because it's easier to manage with regard to certificates.
If you decide to go with the alternative method ([Server Delegation via a DNS SRV record (advanced)](howto-server-delegation.md#server-delegation-via-a-dns-srv-record-advanced)), please be aware that the general flow that this playbook guides you through may not match what you need to do.

As the table above illustrates, you need to create 2 subdomains (`matrix.<your-domain>` and `element.<your-domain>`) and point both of them to your new server's IP address (DNS `A` record or `CNAME` record is fine).
The `element.<your-domain>` subdomain is necessary, because this playbook installs the [Element](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web) web client for you.
The `element.<your-domain>` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook installs the [Element](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web) web client for you.
If you'd rather instruct the playbook not to install Element (`matrix_client_element_enabled: false` when [Configuring the playbook](configuring-playbook.md) later), feel free to skip the `element.<your-domain>` DNS record.
The `dimension.<your-domain>` subdomain may be necessary, because this playbook could install the [Dimension integrations manager](http://dimension.t2bot.io/) for you. Dimension installation is disabled by default, because it's only possible to install it after the other Matrix services are working (see [Setting up Dimension](configuring-playbook-dimension.md) later). If you do not wish to set up Dimension, feel free to skip the `dimension.<your-domain>` DNS record.

## `_matrix-identity._tcp` SRV record setup
To make the [ma1sd](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) Identity Server (which this playbook installs for you) be authoritative for your domain name, set up one more SRV record that looks like this:
To make the [ma1sd](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) Identity Server (which this playbook installs for you) enable its federation features, set up an SRV record that looks like this:
- Name: `_matrix-identity._tcp` (use this text as-is)
- Content: `10 0 443 matrix.<your-domain>` (replace `<your-domain>` with your own)
This is an optional feature. See [ma1sd's documentation](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/wiki/mxisd-and-your-privacy#choices-are-never-easy) for information on the privacy implications of setting up this SRV record.
Note: This `_matrix-identity._tcp` SRV record for the identity server is different from the `_matrix._tcp` that can be used for Synapse delegation. See [howto-server-delegation.md](howto-server-delegation.md) for more information about delegation.
When you're done with the DNS configuration and ready to proceed, continue with [Configuring this Ansible playbook](configuring-playbook.md).
