The server name represents the address at which the homeserver in question can
be reached by other homeservers. The complete grammar is::
server_name = dns_name [ ":" port]
dns_name = host
server_name = host [ ":" port]
port = *DIGIT

Homeservers may use SRV records to load balance requests between multiple TLS
endpoints or to failover to another endpoint if an endpoint fails.

Once the joining server has the room ID and the join candidates, it then needs
to obtain enough information about the room to fill in the required fields of
the ``m.room.member`` event. It obtains this by selecting a resident from the
the ``m.room.member`` event. It obtains this by selecting a resident from t
candidate list, and using the ``GET /make_join`` endpoint. The resident server
will then reply with enough information for the joining server to fill in the
event.
