Re: [asterisk-users] Point a Digium phone to a configuration URL using mDNS without DPMA or DHCP option 66

I forgot to point out that in my scenario, I may not have any administrative control over the DHCP server. Otherwise, the way you indicate would be obvious. Anyway, I received an email saying that mDNS cannot support pointing a Digium phone to anything other than a DPMA-enabled Asterisk. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
