Internal DNS lookup troubles

Hi everyone just started and this is having fun.

Adjacent to homarr, but more about internal DNS lookup.

I tried making an A record homarr.homelab.org pointing an internal IP
making a SRV record pointing port 3000
https or http //homarr.homelab.org does not work
homarr.homelab.org:3000
I did something similar for my other devices, synology.homelab.org - doesn't need a port number redirect

Is this because some sites are https or http and dont have redirect to https? right now i'm trying to sort out internal traffic before I even set up a secure reverse proxy

Thanks all

My A record and SRV record in my router DNS server

take this for what it's worth, how I approached my setup.
-- running pihole as internal DNS - so that's where I put my DNS entries
-- i use NGINX Proxy Manager (NPM) for internal and external forwarding
-- homer.loco is a local DNS entry that points my server running NPM
-- when NPM gets a request for homer.loco, it proxy's the connection to my other http[:]//server:3000

that way, if I have to get on my wife's machine or one of my kids, i just need to remember homer.loco instead of which server/port i put it up with

it will also help you start learning the reverse proxy side.

Oh thanks bud, gonna set up npm. I dabbled with npm before but it went over my head. I’m going to take baby steps
