That's not a big revision. "Big" revisions usually entail wire protocol
changes. What you want is called a "SRV" record and it was submitted to
the RFC Editor for "extended last call" (befitting its experimental
status) about a week ago. An earlier version can be had from any Internet
Drafts repository as draft-gulbrandsen-dns-rr-srvcs-01.txt.

(1) do your homework before posting widely
(2) post to big-internet or nanog but not both
(3) only include one copy of your .signature
