Allow custom service names with mongodb+srv URI scheme
We are using DCOS (marathon/mesos) to manage our services. DCOS generates SRV records for our mongos instances under a record that looks like
mongos-mongodb.tcp.marathon.mesos
However, there's currently no way for me to use this because when I provide a connection url like
mongodb+srv://mongos-mongodb.tcp.marathon.mesos
the drivers prepend "mongodb.tcp" to the provided url. It's not clear why it's required that the host must start with "mongodb.tcp". Why not let the user specify the actual DNS entry to query?
I believe the same issue will exist for multiple orchestration frameworks such as Consul/Nomad and Kubernetes.
