Subdomain issues

I currently have this setup with my domain: a A type record pointing to my server IP: game.domain.net (example domain) a SRV type record called minecraft.domain.net with the data: 0 5 25565 game.domain.net But for some reason, minecraft says unknown host for minecraft.domain.net. This method has worked for every other game I've tried though my minecraft server.properties:
server-ip=MY SERVER IP
server-port=25565
server-ip=MY SERVER IP
server-port=25565
Anybody know the issue or should I just wait longer for the domain changes to work? Been about an hour and usually it takes less than 30 seconds Also, connecting to the server via SERVERIP:25565 works just fine, so it's an issue with the domain/subdomain and the A record is the same A record I use for all my SRV subdomains, so that's not the issue subdomain either, and the SRV records just differ in port, so honestly i think it's a minecraft issue, maybe something with my server configuration?

Server ip in server. Properties should be blank

So 0.0.0.0 is the same right? My program I use to manage it makes it a multiple-choice and nukes my manual changes And "blank" isn't a choice.

Ah I just realized, the IP shouldn't matter? The server works. I stated I can connect to it. This is a DNS issue. connecting just straight up without the subdomain works

I think the server-ip is so if u got multiple ip u can set it to only listen on one Ip, or make it only let people on x ip connect

Wouldn't you use the server-ip for a backend server in a network to accept connections only from the proxy?
