Why each option
To ensure server1.sample.com is always contacted first among SRV records, it must be assigned the lowest priority value, as lower priority numbers indicate higher preference.
A priority of 100 is a high priority value, meaning it would be contacted after servers with lower priority numbers, not first.
A priority of 10 is higher than 5, so if there is an option with a priority of 5, the server with 10 would not be contacted first.
A priority of 10 is higher than 5, so if there is an option with a priority of 5, the server with 10 would not be contacted first.
In SRV records, the server with the lowest priority value is always preferred by clients. Assigning server1.sample.com a priority of 5 guarantees it will be contacted first, as any other implied or configured servers would have higher priority numbers. Weight values only influence selection when multiple servers share the same priority.
