I think Jim wants to be able to setup SRV records in his DNS server to be able to use SIP URLs to terminate and receive VoIP calls.
So Jim will need to setup proper SRV records and also configure Asterisk to query the DNS server for SRV records. I did setup a server with this before using the BIND DNS software and Asterisk. I could prepare a presentation if the members feels they could learn something about it. Or if John has experience with this, he could be the one doing the presentation.
