No, you generally cannot use a CNAME record directly with SRV records. CNAME records point a domain name to another domain name, while SRV records specify the location of a server based on a port. These record types are mutually exclusive. However, you might be able to use a CNAME to point a subdomain to your A record, and then configure an SRV record for the service on that subdomain if you need it. This approach is less common and requires careful consideration.
