Hi Uri, If one configure the "Target" as the domain in SRV record, then you will receive only the domain, and if "Target" is given as "Ip Address" then you will receive the IpAddress followed by $ORIGIN.
One can configure in DNS <service> SRV <PRTY> <WT> <PORT> <Domain OR IP ADDRESS > As per RFC 2782, "Target" is "Domain Name of the host". But I have seen people putting IP address also as "Target" Some DNS server do Name Compression for the Target also, Though it is not permitted as per 2782. Is there any other RFC permitting this ?

What would typically come back from the DNS server? Is it only the host name of the SIP server, or the IP address as well? Thx!
